At Yalta in the Crimea, Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin met to decide the fate of Europe and in their joint statement solemnly declared:"It is not our purpose to destroy the people of Germany."

Again at Potsdam, the representatives of the Big Three met and intheir joint Declaration, signed by Messrs. Stalin, Truman, and Attlee, officially proclaimed:"It is not the intention of the Allies to destroy or enslave the Germanpeople."

Despite these and other assurances, the Potsdam decisions, as we at first interpreted them, meant throwing the German people on their own, with outside assistance prohibited, after the necessary meansfor their survival had been destroyed. This could have but one result: to blot out Germany and the German people.The life of every nation is supported by three main pillars: land (all natural resources), labor (both brawn and brains), and capital (plants and equipment). Break down any one of these and the nationis plunged into catastrophe. We have been guilty of pulling down all three in Germany.The war started the process by destroying the flower of German manpower, shattering cities, factories, railroads, and impoverishing the soil by a five year cessation of fertilizer production. And an equally oppressive war has been waged against the German people since their unconditional surrender. The supporting power of the land has been undermined by vital territorial losses followed by overcrowding caused by the influx of millions of Germans expelledinto the shrunken Reich from the lost areas and from Czechoslovakia, and Poland. Industrial capital resources have been further diminished by loss of all production facilities in the territories taken by the conquerors and by a gigantic program of sacking politely known as "deindustrialization" and "reparations in kind." The working force had been decimated by the enslavement of millions, the throwing of other millions out of posts of responsibility through "denazification," and weakened by undernourishment which causes workmen to fall at their posts of duty. Even the German race itself has been attacked by a program of mass violation of Germany'sunconditionally surrendered motherhood. In consequence, Germany lies prostrate and her people famish. Afterthey began to die en masse, it was finally decided that the importation of some food would be necessary - unfortunately barely enough to keep the great masses of people in the twilight zone between life and death. Their agonies and despair have been perpetuated at the maximum of human capacity.

I am gonna add more articles in this thread , The first installment is here -

1) WAR DEVASTATION

Devastation of the Reich by total warfare was alone enough to cast serious doubt onGermany's postwar ability to survive.Never before in history have the life-sustaining resources of a nation been sothoroughly demolished. Returning from victory in Europe, General Bradley declared,"I can tell you that Germany has been destroyed utterly and completely."[1]The demand for unconditional surrender had forced the desperate Germans to fightto the bitter end, until their cities had been pulverized into death-ridden rubble andtheir factories, railroads, canals, dams, power installations, communications,buildings, homes - all their exposed facilities - had been converted into heaps oftwisted, smouldering ruins.Allied fervor to destroy everything German had been expressed by GeneralEisenhower with the opening of the Ruhr drive. "Our primary purpose," he declared,"is destruction of as many Germans as possible. I expect to destroy every Germanwest of the Rhine and within that area in which we are attacking."[2]Allied capacity to destroy became overwhelming after the American industrialcolossus had been converted from peace-time to war production. American outputsoon surpassed that of all other belligerents in the war combined and became twiceas great as the capacity of the doomed Axis.[3]Stunned by American power, Hermann Göring confessed to his Nuremberg prisonguards: "The industrial genius of America is something of which no one dreamed."A glimpse of America's smashing force when devoted to the grim business of massproduction of death and destruction is provided by the following description writtenby a front line war correspondent:"A cataclysmic blast of exploding, splintering steel rent the earth before us and itseemed like the world was coming to an end."The Americans were blasting out a path for a forward drive."Man and beast shuddered in their tracks. Whole towns were disintegrating. Lifeseemed to disappear from the scene. It was the most terrifying destructive force ofwarfare Germany has ever seen. And it was a symbol of what was to come as theU.S. 1st Army unloosed this shattering blow within the borders of Germany."For an hour and a half more than 2,000 bombers and hundreds of guns pounded theGerman countryside, making the earth dance before this mighty man-made force.When the heavies and mediums were not making the earth quake for miles around,our massed artillery was giving them hell out there. They were firing at an averagerate of one round every 15 seconds, blasting every conceivable obstacle in our path.Minefields went up as though touched off by an electric switch..."In the center of that frightful scene, the Germans were entrenched as a 'humanwall.' They were dug in foxholes and inside houses of 'fortified towns.' Many diedwithout knowing what had hit them."Having seen brave men and wild beasts crack as they do sometimes in the grip of aterrible earthquake, I could have sworn there would be no opposition when the zerohour came."Yet, when our tanks and doughboys went over the top after the barrage, as in thebattle of Verdun, there were Germans still alive and they fought us withviolence."[4]Great though it was, the destruction resulting from ground fighting pales incomparison with that caused by our gigantic air raids. The two atom bombs droppedon Japan may have been more dramatic, but they could hardly have been moredestructive than the millions of phosphorous, fire, and "blockbuster" bombs droppedon Germany. Near the end we were using 11-tonners which crews said caused theirplanes to bounce up over 500 feet when the huge 25-foot missiles were released,sending up "a tremendous pall of black smoke and a fountain of debris" which"dwarfed the terrific explosions of the six-ton 'earthquake' bombs."During the war, more bombs by weight were dropped on Berlin alone than werereleased over the whole of England. So great was the ruin that General Eisenhowerwas constrained to say:"I have seen many great engineering jobs during the war - such as the clearing ofthe port of Cherbourg - but I just wouldn't know where to begin to rebuildBerlin."[5]An American writer, among the first group of correspondents allowed to spend morethan 24 hours in the smashed metropolis, wrote:"The capital of the Third Reich is a heap of gaunt, burned-out, flame-searedbuildings. It is a desert of a hundred thousand dunes made up of brick and powderedmasonry. Over this hangs the pungent stench of death . . . It is impossible toexaggerate in describing the destruction . . . Downtown Berlin looks like no thingman could have contrived. Riding down the famous Frankfurter Allee, I did not seea single building where you could have set up a business of even selling apples."[6]All German cities above 50,000 population and many smaller ones were from 50 to80 per cent destroyed. Dresden, as large as Pittsburgh, was wiped out and nearly allof its 620,000 inhabitants buried under the ruins.[7] Cologne, with a population of750,000, was turned into a gigantic wasteland. Hamburg, with its 1,150,000 people,was blasted by huge attacks, in one of which the flames rolled a mile into the sky androasted alive hundreds of thousands of civilians in street temperatures of a thousanddegrees. Frankfurt-on-Main, a city of 500,000, was reduced to a mass of rubble. Allcities and industrial areas, such as the Ruhr and Saar regions, were laid waste.[8]The story of Kassel typifies the tragedy which befell the others:"Three hundred times the people of Kassel ran terrified to their air-raid shelters asgiant British and American planes dropped their bombs. Nearly 10,000 were killedin the first terrible bombing, the night of October 22, 1943. That was largely anincendiary attack, which set the whole center of the city afire. Thousands werekilled in their air-shelters by the gas fumes from great piles of burning coal, neverknowing why they felt sleepy, never awakening."From that night on they never knew when; they just knew they were doomed.Sometimes they got only a few bombs; often raiding parties which couldn't reachobjectives farther east around Berlin picked Kassel on the way home."Occasionally swarms of planes went directly overhead and nothing happened;other times they went overhead, and when the people of Kassel thought they weregoing on eastward, they wheeled around and came back to drop their powerful tonsof TNT."They got so they knew all the tricks, those that remained in Kassel. Steadily theirtown was beaten down upon their heads. . . Less than 15,000 of their 65,000 homes remained livable. They learned how todig in, to escape the coal fumes, the fires. Somehow, I thought it was with just atouch of pride that the Burgomeister said, 'And then our latest raid, March 8 and 9,1945. It was by far the biggest. Perhaps a thousand big bombers, one of the biggestraids in all Germany; and we lost very few killed - less than 100.'"'And then, just before Easter, we heard the American armies were coming andwanted to make Kassel an open city,' said Helga Aspen, a pretty blond girl whostayed through it all. 'But,' she added bitterly, 'the Fuehrerhauptquartier (Himmler)gave orders to defend to the last man.'"And so Kassel, beaten by 300 air-raids, must know the crashing of Americanartillery fire. They gathered about 6,000 civilians in a deep bunker in the center oftown and waited - as the rather inept German defense units gradually were drivenback."So, on April 4, 1945, Kassel surrendered, not more than 15,000 of its 250,000 stillin the the city and living. Thousands lay buried under the countless tons of brickand mortar and twisted steel that had been dwellings and stores and factories."That was a year ago and it's no exaggeration to say that they are still dazed. Only afew have snapped out of their stupor to become real leaders. It is not uncommon tosee a person burst into helpless tears, if the conversation turns to recounting the warterror."[9]This wholesale destruction of the cities and production facilities of the most highlyindustrialized nation in Europe was successful from a strictly military point of view;however, it was also an attack against the livelihood of millions of workers, for thewrecking of factories and machines is also destruction of jobs, the basic means oflife.Some of Germany's jobless millions have found temporary employment in clearingrubble and similar work. But genuine reconstruction is impossible withoutproduction of vast amounts of building materials and new equipment, neither ofwhich can be produced in Germany today, because the necessary facilities no longerexist. It takes factories and machines Germany lacks to build the factories andmachines Germany needs.To get the German economy off this dead center demands external assistance. Andmeanwhile the people, unable to produce the necessities of life for themselves, musteither be allowed to die in masses or be given outside help until recovery has gonefar enough to enable them once more to take care of themselves.

Territorial AmputationsGermany's living space, even in 1937, was small for her heavypopulation and afforded important natural resources only in the formof farm lands and deposits of coal and potash. Her agricultural landshave been overworked by intensive cultivation for 1,000 to 2,000years and her soil has been starved for fertilizer during and since therecent war. Even when plenty of fertilizer was available and herterritory was intact, Germany was never able to produce more than80 per cent of the food and other farm products needed to meet herdomestic needs.[1]The rest had to be imported in exchange for coal and manufacturedexports.As her agricultural lands became overcrowded, Germany hadresorted to manufacturing. By importing iron ore and exploiting hercoal and potash resources to the utmost, she had built up the world'ssecond largest steel and chemical industries which, in turn, formedthe "workshop of Europe," raised the general European standard ofliving, and provided direct or indirect support for fully two thirds ofher own population.On account of destruction by total warfare and deliberate Alliedpolicy, these industrial resources are now largely wiped out. Withoutthem, over half of the German workers must resort to the soil as theironly other means of life. Under the circumstances it is extremelydoubtful that the land, even if all held in 1937 were left intact, couldsupport the huge, now jobless, industrial population on even thebarest subsistence level.Without waiting to see, Germany's conquerors have ruthlesslystripped her of lands constituting 28 per cent of her living space,producing an even higher proportion of her food, and containing twoof her three principal coal regions. To make matters still worse, theyare expelling into the remaining Reich millions of Germans from thelost provinces, Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and elsewhere; arecoddling a large population of "displaced persons" within strickenGermany; and, in the case of the Russians and French, aremaintaining large armies of occupation which live off the land. Boththe "displaced persons" and these occupation forces enjoy priorityover the Germans by being able to make requisitions against them forwhatever food and other items they need in order to live incomparative ease and luxury. The deplorable situation created bythese actions ean well be imagined.The Atlantic Charter had promised:"No aggrandizement." - "No territorial changes that do not accordwith the freely expressed wishes of the peoples concerned." - "theright of all peoples to choose the form of govemment under whichthey live." - "To all nations the means of dwelling in safety within theirown borders." - "A peace . . . which will afford assurance that all menin all lands may live out their lives in freedom from fear and want."In their Yalta statement, the Big Three reaffirm their "faith in theprinciples of the Atlantic Charter" and say they uphold "the right of allpeople to choose the form of government under which they live." Yetin the same pronouncement they grant Russia the eastern half ofPoland and as compensation promise the Poles "substantialaccessions of territory" in eastern Germany - all without regard to"the wishes of the peoples concerned," - "freely expressed" orotherwise.Although Yalta prescribes that the exact amount of such territoryPoland is to receive must await final adjudication at the peaceconferenee, Russia at Potsdam confronted her two western allies witha territorial fait accompli. She had taken a third of East Prussia as herown permanent acquisition and had placed her Polish puppet inpossession of all other German territory east of the Oder and NeisseRivers. Even the drastic Morgenthau Plan had called for cedingPoland only the part of East Prussia not taken by Russia and theUpper Silesian coal and industrial region. But in addition to theseareas, Poland had now possessed herself of German Posen, nearly allof Pomerania and Lower Silesia, and the eastern part of Brandenburg- the best part of the Reich's breadbasket. In urging her two allies toaccept these acquisitions as permanent, Russia argued that so manyGerman inhabitants had fled when the Red armies invaded that to getthe regions back into production would require their incorporationinto the Russian and Polish economies along the lines alreadydrawn.[2]Russia's seizure of Koenigsberg and adjacent East Prussian territorywas accepted at Potsdam and has since gone unopposed. RenamedKaliningrad, the former East Prussian capital has been developed intoa prized warm water port for the Soviet Union, most of the Germaninhabitants have been ousted, and the whole region has beenthoroughly Russified.[3]But concerning German lands held by Poland, Potsdam decides that"the final delimitation of the western frontier of Poland should awaitthe peace settlement"; however, it permits the territories to be heldmeanwhile "under the administration of the Polish state." Apparentlylooking upon this arrangement as tantamount to de facto recognitionof her title to the regions, Poland has proceeded to dispossess anddrive out the millions of German inhabitants, and to replace themwith Poles.Although Moscow had led Poland to believe that she could keep theGerman provinces in question, German Communists with Sovietbacking early in 1946 started hinting to the Germans that all or part ofthe lands might be returned and Poland herself partitioned againbetween Russia and Germany, if the Reich would acceptcommunization and membership in the Soviet Union. MarshallZhukov himself had made such a suggestion to German Communistsin April and in July Molotov at Paris had lent his tacit support when,to the consternation of his western allies, he came out boldly for aterritorially unified, centralized strong Reich. He specifically opposedany territorial amputations in the west and although silent on thesubject, permitted the inference that some or all of the easternterritories might be returned. The coup came as a discomfortingsurprise especially to France and the United States, whose "toughpeace" programs which they had assumed met with hearty Russianapproval, called for severe amputations of the Reich. It became plainthat Russia approved the programs only as long as her westernfriends would put them forward and thereby permanently alienatethe German people.Finally realizing that we must meet the Russian bid for Germansympathy and support, Mr. Byrnes at Stuttgart made it plain to theGermans that, while the United States will continue to supportPoland's claim to some German territory, it does not necessarilyconsider the western Polish frontier to be permanently fixed at theOder River. His object was clearly to place the United States in aposition to match any offer the Russians might make to return to theGermans all or part of their lost eastern territory. Communistinspired Polish reaction to the Byrnes statement was immediate andbitter. The day after it was given crowds with clenched fists wavingmilled about in front of the Warsaw residence of the AmericanAmbassador shouting, "Down with the defenders of Germany!" Aspokesman of the Polish puppet government publicly warned thatPoland "will fight" if any attempt is made to move her westernfrontier east of the Oder. A little later Stalin declared that heconsiders Poland's present frontiers permanent. With the situationthus stalemated awaiting the peace settlement, Poland remains inwhat may easily become permanent possession of the disputed areas.France, meanwhile, had waged a bitter fight to deprive Germany ofvital western areas. Insisting that the Reich must be permanentlyweakened by economic and political dismemberment, she demandedthat the Ruhr be detached and internationalized, that the Rhinelandbe turned into an autonomous state, and that she be allowed to annexthe rich Saar coal and industrial regions. Placing settlement of thesequestions and her exorbitant reparation claims above all bilateralagreements and alliances, she attempted to force the issue by blockingall Allied attempts to treat Germany as an economic whole.Prior to the Molotov coup at Paris, France had been supported in herterritorial claims against Germany by French Communists withMoscow backing. But just as she was making her strongest appeal forAllied approval of their severe plans for western Germany, Molotovsuddenly abandoned her and made his unexpected bid for Germanterritorial unity and support. Rejecting outright the proposedinternationalization of the Ruhr and, by implication, Frenchannexation of the Saar, he quoted from Stalin's speech of November2, 1942, in which he had said that it is "just as impossible to destroyGermany as to destroy Russia." Opposing any "alamode" plans todismember or pastoralize the Reich, or to turn it into a federation orconfederation of small states, as had been proposed, he demandedfour-power control and administration of the Ruhr.Despite this stinging Russian rejection of territorial changes inwestern Germany, the United States, in exchange for a Frenchpromise to cease blocking treatment of Germany as an economicwhole, promised to back French claims to the Saar which Francethereupon began to enlarge by annexing adjoining areas. But atStuttgart, Mr. Byrnes, after repeating the promise to support theFrench claim to the Saar, followed Mr. Molotov's example andopposed detachment of the Ruhr and Rhineland. His stand,supported by both Russia and Britain, will undoubtedly forcesubstantial moderation in future French claims.Byrnes declared that apart from the Saar, and the eastern territoriesto go to Russia and to Poland as decided at the peace conference, "theUnited States will not support any encroachment on territory which isindisputably German or any division of Germany which is notgenuinely desired by the people concerned. So far as the United Statesis aware the people of the Ruhr and the Rhineland desire to remainunited with the rest of Germany. And the United States will notoppose their desire."With the exceptions noted, Mr. Byrnes, here with telling effect,applied to Germany the principles of the Atlantic Charter. Thereshould be no exceptions. If these principles apply to the Ruhr andRhineland, as they do, they apply with equal force to the Saar and toGerman territories east of the Oder-Neisse line. Such principlescannot be used merely as convenient trumps in the sordid game ofpower politics without convincing the world, including the Germans,that our stand is unprincipled, inherently contradictory, andprejudiced, that in consequence they are being unjustly deprived ofterritory vital to their very existence.The Germans have long suffered from acute overpopulation. Inearlier years they sought relief in colonies and heavy emigration,which incidentally brought us the large German element in our ownpopulation. Later, they resorted to intensive industrialization. AfterWorld War I, they were stripped of their colonies, emigration wasimpeded by barriers such as immigration quotas, and their homelandwas reduced from 208,830 to 181,699 square miles. Following WorldWar II, emigration has been entirely prohibited, and all the Germansin Europe are being jammed into a homeland further slashed to only133,000 square miles.Although Germany's population is half as large as our own, herterritory in 1937 was only one sixteenth as large as ours, or aboutequal to the combined areas of Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, andPennsylvania. Since the present losses to Poland, Russia, and Francesubtract an area as large as Pennsylvania, they mean that the 70million Germans are being crammed into a territory no larger thanMichigan, Indiana, and Ohio.Imagine trying to force half the people of the United States into thesethree states with their cities, factories, railways, and, otherproduction facilities demolished!The resultant population compression is tremendous. Thinkingpeople in France are justly worried that it will bring another violationof their territory impelled by millions of desperate Germans faced byextermination through overcrowding.Diplomacy which creates such powder kegs is singularly lacking instatesmanship and humanity. It makes sense only in terms of Sovietdesigns.Mass Expulsions of Outside Germans into the Shrunken ReichThe forced exodus of Germans from the lost German territories andelsewhere in eastem Europe constitutes one of the blackest pages ofhistory. Potsdam gives its permission by saying that the "transfer toGermany of German populations, or elements thereof, remaining inPoland, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary, will have to be undertaken."However it adds that "any transfers that take place should be effectedin an orderly and humane manner."Some 15 million people are victimized by this decree: a half millionfrom Hungary, nearly three million from Czechoslovakia, and most ofthe rest from the German territories taken by Russia and Poland.Potsdam calls for annulment of all Nazi laws which establisheddiscrimination on grounds of race and declares: "No suchdiscrimination, whether legal, administrative or otherwise, shall betolerated." Yet these forced migrations of German populations arepredicated squarely on rank racial discrimination. The peopleaffected are mostly wives and children of simple peasants, workers,and artisans whose families have lived for centuries in the homesfrom which they have now been ejected, and whose only offense istheir German blood. How "orderly and humane" their banishmenthas been is now a matter of record.Winston Churchill was not exaggerating when, in referring to theexpulsions some three months after V-E Day, he informed the Houseof Commons:"It isn't impossible that a tragedy on a prodigious scale is imposingitself behind the iron curtain which presently divides Europe."[4]The conservative newletter, REVIEW OF WORLD AFFAIRS, quotes asfollows from a confidential memorandum prepared by an eminentEuropean economist:"Since the end of the war about 3,000,000 people, mostly women andchildren and overaged men, have been killed in eastern Germany andsouth-eastern Europe; about 15,000,000 people have been deportedor had to flee from their homesteads and are on the road. About 25per cent of these people, over 3,000,000, have perished. About4,000,000 men and women have been deported to eastern Europeand Russia as slaves. ... It seems that the elimination of the Germanpopulation of eastern Europe - at least 15,000,000 people - wasplanned in accordance with decisions made at Yalta. Churchill hadsaid to Mikolajczyk when the latter protested during the negotiationsat Moscow against forcing Poland to incorporate eastern Germany:'Don't mind the five or more million Germans. Stalin will see to them.You will have not trouble with them: they will cease to exist.'"[5]Dr. Lawrence Meyer, executive secretary of the Lutheran Church,Missouri Synod, after a tour of Germany stated:"About 16,000,000 German refugees east of the Oder are beingdeported from their homes. It has been estimated that already10,000,000 have been driven out. The human tragedy and sufferingcaused by this 'Volkswanderung' are unparalleled in history. Hunger,cold, sickness, and death is the lot of millions. An authentic eyewitnessreport of the physical wretchedness of most of the refugees ispictured in the following:"A !arge barge is slowly being towed across the Oder River. In it, lyingon straw, are 300 children ranging from 2 to 14 years of age. There ishardly a sign of life in the whole group. Their hollow eyes, theirswollen bellies, knees, and feet are telltale signs of starvation. Theseare merely the vanguard of hundreds of thousands - millions ofhomeless, shattered, hungry, sick, helpless, hopeless human beingsfleeing westward - west of the Oder and Neisse Rivers."A trust in God - in his goodness and mercy - these are the only hopeof Germany today. And thank God in many there is still faith in Godagainst which the gates of hell have stormed in vain during the pastdecade."[6]In describing the expulsions in Poland and Czechoslovakia, Russianofficers told Chicago Daily News correspondents:"The Poles have cleaned out all the Germans as far west as the OderRiver, and now all that property is for any Poles who want it."The Czechs have taken care of the Germans in Sudetenland in theirown way - and it's not pretty. They round them up, with only whatthey can carry, and start them moving."Upon returning to his post as professor of political science at theUniversity of Michigan, after serving 14 months as director of AMG'sregional government coordinating office, Dr. James K. Pollock, inAugust, 1946, said most of the 2-1/4 million expellees from Hungaryand Sudetenland are old women and children. He said:"The Germans we are getting are mostly from the Sudetenland orGermans whose families had been living in Hungary for some 500years. They come in perfectly frightful condition. They even took thewomen's wedding rings before they left. In many cases they have noclothes except those they are wearing."[7]An officer would call at the door of the victims and order them toleave their home within a few hours, permitting them to take along 30to 100 lbs. of luggage containing nothing of value which might helpthem in making a new start elsewhere. The property forcibly leftbehind would be confiscated by the state. Any able-bodied men foundwould be hustled off to slavery. The others would then start theirperilous hegira to overcrowded Germany wholly without protection oflaw, subjected to every conceivable abuse, including robbery,beatings, rape and murder.A dispatch in December, 1945, paints a picture of the plight of theexiles in the new Poland, where hundreds of thousands had beenousted from their homes and left to wander where they would.Former German cities like Breslau are described as almostdepopulated of Germans, with Poles taking their place. The dispatchgoes on to say:"Hundreds of thousands of persons in Poland are constantly on themove, restlessly seeking a spot where they can grub a living out of thewar raged land. In every rail station and junction men, women, andchildren await transport. Clusters of human beings, almost hiddenunder loads of parcels and cans and other remnants of what musthave been their homes, wait along the roads or in blasted villages forany transport that will carry them somewhere else. Life with its birthand death continues even in these nomadic streams and everywhereyou see womenfold tending their sick or nursing babies."[8]An eye-witness report of the arrival in Berlin of a train which had leftPoland with exacly 1,000 refugees aboard reads:"Nine hundred and nine men, women, and children draggedthemselves and their luggage from a Russian railway train at Lehertestation today, after 11 days travelling in boxcars from Poland."Red Army soldiers lifted 91 corpses from the train, while relativesshrieked and sobbed as their bodies were piled in American lendleasetrucks and driven off for internment in a pit near aconcentration camp.The refugee train was like a macabre Noah's ark. Every car wasjammed with Germans . . . The families carry all their earthlybelongings in sacks, bags, and tin trunks. . . Nursing infants suffer themost, as their mothers are unable to feed them, and frequently goinsane as they watch their offspring slowly die before their eyes.Today four screaming, violently insane mothers were bound withrope to prevent them from clawing other passengers."'Many women try to carry off their dead babies with them,' a Russianrailway official said. 'We search the bundles whenever we discover aweeping woman, to make sure she is not carrying an infant corpsewith her.'"[9]New York Daily News correspondent Donald Mackenzie likewisereports from Berlin:"In the windswept courtyard of the Stettiner Bahnhof, a cohort ofGerman refugees, part of 12,000,000 to 19,000,000 dispossessed inEast Prussia and Silesia, sat in groups under a driving rain and toldthe story of their miserable pilgrimage, during which more than 25per cent died by the roadside and the remainder were so starved theyscarcely had strength to walk."Filthy, emaciated, and carrying their few remaining possessionswrapped in bits of cloth they shrank away crouching when oneapproached them in the railway terminal, expecting to be beaten orrobbed or worse. That is what they have become accustomed toexpect."A nurse from Stettin, a young, good-looking blond, told how herfather had been stabbed to death by Russian soldiers who, afterraping her mother and sister, tried to break into her own room. Sheescaped and hid in a haystack with four other women for 4 days . . ."On the train to Berlin she was pillaged once by Russian troops andtwice by Poles. . . Women who resisted were shot dead, she said, andon one occasion she saw a guard take an infant by the legs and crushits skull against a post because the child cried while the guard wasraping its mother."An old peasant from Silesia said . . . victims were robbed ofeverything they had, even their shoes. Infants were robbed of theirswaddling clothes so that they froze to death. All the healthy girls andwomen, even those 65 years of age were raped in the train and thenrobbed, the peasant said."[10]Precedent for these inhuman expulsions was set long before Potsdamin Romania where, according to a diplomatic report from Bucharest,520,000 Romanian citizens of German ancestry, men between theages of 17 and 45 and women between 18 and 30, were rounded uplike slaves and deported to Soviet Russia. The document said "therewere heart-rending scenes and many preferred suicide to anunknown fate in Soviet Russia."[11]The United States had made its own direct contribution by oustingmore than 16,000 people of German extraction from Latin Americancountries, obtaining permission to do so by pressure of various kindsapplied from Washington, extraditing them without trial to thiscountry, holding them here in concentration camps incommunicadoand still without trial, and finally deporting them out of thishemisphere where many of them have been impressed into slavery byEngland and France.[12]These wholesale expulsions of native populations are asreprehensible as anything the Nazis are accused of doing, and havecaused deep resentment among all classes of Germans. Had Americakept her skirts clean, and especially if she had denounced them, asshe should have done, German respect for us would have soared. Asmatters stand, Germans blame us almost as much as the Russians andPoles. Our hands, too, are stained with the blood of millions ofinnocent victims of this savage, thoroughly un-American program.Apart from the moral aspects of the matter, the dumping of all thesemillions of expropriated, helpless, people into what remains ofwrecked Germany piles chaos upon chaos and helps convert theentire German nation into one vast Belsen or Buchenwald.

Allied attacks against German manpower have proceeded along three mainfronts: enslavement, denazification, and physical incapacitation throughundernourishment. Our present discussion will take up the first two of these,with starvation postponed for special treatment.President Roosevelt on October 21, 1944, promised that "the German people arenot going to be enslaved, because the United Nations do not traffic in humanslavery." In the preceding month of Quebec, however, he had used strongpressure to obtain Mr. Churchill's acceptance of the Morgenthau Plan whichcalled for "forced German labor outside Germany." Pravda writer Boris Izakovwrote that when in the following February at Yalta the proposal was advanced toforce German workers to rebuild war-damaged areas, "President Roosevelt calledthis a healthy idea."[1] It was at this meeting that Mr. Roosevelt pressed theMorgenthau Plan and won Mr. Stalin's ominously ready acceptance.Although at Potsdam it was solemnly promised again that "It is not the intentionof the Allies to . . . enslave the German people," thousands of Germans hadalready been marched eastward into Russia's yawning slave camps. More that amonth earlier, on June 29, 1945, the following had been published:"German prisoners in Russian hands are estimated to number from four to fivemillions. When Berlin and Breslau surrendered, the long grey-green columns ofprisoners were marched east. . . downcast and fearful. . . toward huge depots nearLeningrad, Moscow, Minsk, Stalingrad, Kiev, Kharkov, and Sevastopol. All fitmen had to march some 22 miles a day. Those physically handicapped went inhandcarts or carts pulled by spare beasts. . . They will be made to rebuild theRussian towns and villages which they destroyed. They will not return home untilthe work is completed."[2]It has long been an open secret that Russia maintains under the direction of theNKVD (secret police) a vast army of Russian slaves, varying in number form 10-20 millions, mainly recruited as "political unreliables."[3] The presence andimportance of this huge slave force explains, among other things, the profitabilityand frequency of Soviet Russia's many "purges": they are primarily a device forrounding up prisoners for enslavement. It is not surprising, therefore, that theSoviet Union should jump at the opportunity to enslave millions of defeatedenemy civilians and soldiers and, to avoid special criticism, induce her allies to dolikewise. When it was learned that the Soviets were impressing German civilianpersonnel for service in factories being removed to Russia, Britain and the UnitedStates protested. In reply the Russians produced a proclamation signed by Gen.Eisenhower a year earlier requiring that German authorities must carry out anymeasures of restitution, reinstatement, restoration, reparations, reconstruction,relief or rehabilitation as the Allied representatives might prescribe, toaccomplish which the Germans must "provide such transporation, plantequipment and materials of all kinds, labor, personnel, specialists, and otherservices for use in Germany or elsewhere as the Allied representatives maydirect." Since the document did not require four-nation agreement, the Russiansare permitted by it to act unilaterally. After it was produced, Britain and theUnited States had to withdraw their protests.A few crippled and ailing Germans who have survived the ordeal have beenreturned from the Russian slave camps to Berlin where American correspondentshave obtained first hand accounts of what is happening. German Red Cross girlswent at 9 a.m. on the morning of September 10, 1946, to meet a 20-car trainloadof returning forced laborers. As the sealed cars were opened by the armed guardswho had been riding on top, the girls were greeted with thin, scabby-faced men inrags begging for water or hysterically calling for help in removing the dead. Aprofessional nurse told the story:"They had been in the train almost a week traveling about 60 miles fromFrankfurt-on-Oder. There had been deaths from starvation, not from starvationjust during the ride, but from the hardships of the trip after months ofmalnutrition in Russian labor camps. Almost all of the 800 or 900 in the trainwere sick or crippled. You might say they were all invalids. With 40 to 50 packedin each of those little boxcars, the sick had to sleep beside the dead on theirhomeward journey. I did not count them but I am sure we removed more than 25corpses. Others had to be taken to hospitals. I asked several of the men whetherthe Russian guards or doctors had done anything on the trip to care for the sick.They said 'No.'"I met only one alert, healthy man in the lot and I have seen him since. He wasjust a kid of 17. The boy told me that prisoners leaving Russian camps forGermany are searched to prevent any from smuggling mail for their comrades.Therefore; when one of them has been diagnosed as a hopeless invalid, inanticipation of discharge he will memorize the names and addresses of relativesto whom he can report for his fellow prisoners. He said only prisoners in specialfavor are able to mail postcards to their nearest of kin. This kid of 17 hadmemorized 80 names and addresses in Berlin of relatives of his prison friends.He found the buildings at most of the addresses in rubble, with the presentwhereabouts of the former occupants unknown, but he visited all 80 addresses inhis first six days in Berlin."[4]The daily diet in Russian slave camps is soup and lectures on the glories ofCommunism and the evils of western democracy. The slightest disobedience ispenalized by such heavy work that a third of the culprits die within three weeksfrom exhaustion. A tenth of the slaves died during the first year, according tothose who have returned.[5]If prisoners released by the Russians as unfit for further forced labor happen torecuperate, they are re-impressed and sent back for more.[6] Moreover, ablebodied Germans we have released who have returned to their former homes inthe Russian zone are arrested by the Russians and sent to the Soviet Union forenslavement, on the pretext that they have been rendered "politically unreliable"through exposure to British or American influences.[7] Refusal of releasedprisoners to return to the Russian zone has created a major problem, whichFrance has attempted to meet by permitting the men to remain in France as aspecial class of citizens.When the war ended, we enjoyed a decided advantage over the Russians inGerman esteem. Aware of the barbarities of the NKVD's treatment of slaves,German soldiers did their best to avoid falling into the hands of the Red armies,preferring instead to surrender to the British or Americans. German prisonerswho were to be turned over to the Russians often committed suicide or tried toincapacitate themselves by slashing their bodies with knives, razors, or bits ofglass.[8] Persistent reports coming from Russia, however, tell of large numbers ofGerman prisoners joining the Red Army, after indoctrination in Communism,and justify the fear that ultimately the huge German prison army in Russia maybe successfully converted into a potent military force which may someday beturned against the West. [9]France, according to the International Red Cross, had 680,000 former Germansoldiers slaving for her in August, 1946. 475,000 of their number had beencaptured by the United States and later turned over to the French for forcedlabor.[10] French treatment of her slave subjects is revolting to the civilizedconscience. In an article entitled, "We Should Not Resemble Them," FIGAROreveals:"In certain camps for German prisoners of war . . . living skeletons may be seen,almost like those in German concentration camps, and deaths fromundernourishment are numerous. We learn that prisoners have been savagelyand systematically beaten and that some have been employed in removing mineswithout protection equipment so that they have been condemned to die sooner orlater."People, of course, will point to the Gestapo tortures, the gas chambers and themountains of human bodies found in the internment camps in Germany. Butthese horrors should not become the theme of sports competition in which weendeavor to outdo the Nazis. . . We have to judge the enemy, but we have a dutynot to resemble him."[11]Gathering his facts from numerous reliable sources, Louis Clair writes in THEPROGRESSIVE of "the horrible conditions in the French camps of GermanPOW's." He says:"In a camp in the Sarthe district for 20,000 prisoners, inmates receive 900calories a day; thus 12 die every day in the hospital. Four to five thousand areunable to work at all any more. Recently trains with new prisoners arrived in thecamp: several prisoners had died during the trip, several others had tried to stayalive by eating coal that had been lying in the freight train by which they came."In an Orleans camp, the commander received 16 francs a day per head orprisoner to buy food, but he spent only nine francs, so that the prisoners werestarving. In the Charentes district, 2,500 of the 12,000 camp inmates are sick. Ayoung French soldier writes to a friend just returned from a Nazi camp:"'I watch those who made you suffer so much, dying of hunger, sleeping on coldcement floors, in no way protected from rain and wind. I see kids of 19, who begme to give them certificates that they are healthy enough to join the FrenchForeign Legion. . . .Yes, I who hated them so much, today can only feel pity for them.'"A witness reports on the camp in Langres: 'I have seen them beaten with riflebutts and kicked with feet in the streets of the town because they broke down ofoverwork. Two or three of them die of exhaustion every week.'"In another camp near Langres, 700 prisoners slowly die of hunger; they havehardly any blankets and not enough straw to sleep on; there is a typhoid epidemicin the camp which has already spread to the neighboring village. In another campprisoners receive only one meal a day but are expected to continue working.Elsewhere so many have died recently that the cemetery space was exhausted andanother cemetery had to be built."In a camp where prisoners work an the removal of mines, regular food suppliesarrive only every second day so that 'prisoners make themselves a soup of grassand some stolen vegetables.' All prisoners of this camp have contractedtuberculosis. Here and elsewhere treatment differs in no respect from the Nazi SSbrutality. Many cases have been reported where men have been so horriblybeaten that their limbs were broken. In one camp, men were awakened duringthe night, crawled out of their barracks and then shot 'because of attemptedescape.'"There are written affidavits proving that in certain camps commanding officerssold on the black market all the supplies that had been provided by AmericanArmy authorities; there are other affidavits stating that prisoners were forced totake off their shoes and run the gauntlet. And so on, and so on . . . These are thefacts."[12]After we had delivered the first 320,000 prisoners, the French returned 2,474 ofthem to us, claiming that we had given them weaklings. Correspondentsdescribed them as "a beggar army of pale, thin men clad in vermine infestedtatters." All were pronounced unfit for work - three-fourths of them on account ofmalnutrition - and 19 per cent had to be hospitalized. Associated Pressphotographer Henry Griffin, who had taken pictures of the corpses piled in allGerman concentration camps, including Buchenwald and Dachau, said of themen: "The only difference I can see between these men and those corpses is thathere they are still breathing."[13]Asked to investigate, the Red Cross reported the prisoners were receivinginhuman treatment. Upon our threat to stop further transfers the Frenchprotested that they must have more prisoners or suffer heavy financial loss. Itthen came out that the French Government was hiring the men out to Frenchemployers for which it collected regular union wages, an average of 150 francs perday per man. Out of this, the government paid each prisoner 10 francs, and stoodtheir daily cost of upkeep of perhaps another 40 francs, leaving a daily net profitof 100 francs per slave. In the aggregate the French Government thus stood tomake a profit of over 50 billion francs a year from its German slaves!" [14] Nowonder it became upset when we threatened to stop handing them over.When we resumed deliveries, we took pains to make sure that the prisoners werein satisfactory physical condition. The men would be lined up and examined,their mouths opened and inspected, their chest thumped, their joints tried, theireyes, ear and teeth looked over, as if they were horses being offered for sale. GI'switnessing this spectacle were overheard to remark: "Gee! I hope we don't everlose a war."In the summer of 1946 a hopeful development which may bring an end to theslave traffic in France put in its appearance. It began when prisoners newlyarrived from American POW camps not only refused to work in French coalmines but persuaded prisoners already there to follow their example.[15] Amonth later some of the prisoners were freed and then hired to work at full unionwages, frankly as a measure to increase output.[16] The experience proves that inthis modern world at least men when free produce more abundantly andprofitably than when enslaved.On December, 5, 1946, it was announced that the American Government hadrequested the repatriation by October 1, 1947, of the 674,000 German POW's ithad turned over to France, Belgium, The Netherlands, and Luxemburg. Francehad agreed to release its 620,000 of this number but gave no definite pledge ofwhen they would be freed. The French Government also disclosed that the UnitedStates, in a Dec. 21, 1945, memorandum, expressly stipulated that the Germanscaptured by the American Army and handed over to France were chattels to beused indefinitely for forced labor as part of France's war reparations fromGermany. Meanwhile reports continued to pour into the press that conditions inthe French slave camps remained as bad or worse than before - starvation diets,little protection from the elements or disease, in filthy, vermin-infested quarters.Great Britain in August, 1946, according to the International Red Cross, had460,000 German prisoners slaving for her,[17] and as in the case of Francebringing in a handsome profit to the War Office. Upon embarking from our portsthe prisoners were given to understand that they were being sent home; whenthey learned upon arrival in British or French ports that they were to be workedindefinitely as slaves, they became sullen. As one British officer said, "It takes usseveral weeks to bring them around where they will work hard."[18]A British contractor employing German slaves for skilled work is reported to haveremarked:"When you see how well they do things and how awful our own Ministry of Works- we call the Ministry the O.C., short for organized chaos - messes things up, itmakes you wonder how we ever won the war."[19]Among other projects, the prisoners were forced to build in Kensington Gardensa British victory celebration camp to house 24,000 empire troops who marchedin the Empire's Victory Day parade. One foreman remarked: "I guess the Jerriesare preparing to celebrate their own downfall. It does seem as though that islaying it on a bit thick."[20]The British Government nets over $250,000,000 annually from its slaves. TheGovernment, which frankly calls itself the "owner" of the prisoners, hires the menout to any employer needing men, charging the going rates of pay for such work -usually $15 to $20 per week. It pays the slaves from 10 cents to 20 cents a day,depending on the character of the work required, plus such "amenities" as slavescustomarily received in the former days of slavery in the form of clothing, food,and shelter.[21] The prisoners are never paid in cash, but are given credits, eitherin the form of vouchers for camp post exchange items or credits against the timewhen they will be liberated. In March 1946, 140,000 prisoners were working onfarms, for which the Government collected $14 a week per prisoner, 24,000 onhousing and bomb damage clearance, 22,000 on railroads, mostly as sectionhands, the balance at odd jobs, such as digging weeds out of the Thames river orserving as menials for GI brides awaiting shipment to America.[22]According to revelations by members of the British House of Commons, about130,000 former German officers and men were held during the winter of 1945-46in British camps in Belgium under conditions British officers have described as:"Not much better than Belsen." The prisoners lived through the winter in tentsand slept on the bare ground under one blanket each. They say they are underfedand beaten and kicked by the guards. Many have no underclothes or boots.[23]In the summer of 1946 an increasing number of prisoners were escaping fromBritish slave camps with British civilian aid. Accounts of the chases by militarypolice are reminiscent of pre-Civil War pursuits of fleeing negro fugitives.[24] Bymid-September public indignation had risen to such a pitch that the British WarOffice announced that plans were under way to release 15,000 slaves per month,with preference given those displaying "genuine democratic" convictions. Armyofficers and important Nazis would not be repatriated under the plan. However,promises were made to improve conditions in the camps.[25]The official International Red Cross report in August 1946 showed that our owngovernment, through its military branch in the German zone, was exacting forcedlabor from 284,000 captives, 140,000 of them in the occupation zone, 100,000in France, 30,000 in Italy, and 14,000 in Belgium.[26]Slave holdings of other countries, as reported by the Red Cross, were: Yugoslavia80,000; Belgium 48,000; Czechoslovakia 45,000; Luxemburg 4,000; Holland1,300.[27]Keeping these millions of Germans away from their families is a direct attackagainst the German home and family, and in this respect serves onlyCommunism. Still the tie that binds the men to their loved ones has remainedstrong. A dispatch from Geneva tells a touching story."Hundreds of tons of parcels shipped by German war prisoners in United Statescamps to relatives in the Reich via the International Red Cross during the lastthree years are congesting warehouses here. The Geneva organization is unable toforward them because no central Red Cross is permitted in Germany. Otherhundreds of tons are being held in New York pending a solution."'The contents of the packages tell a pitiful story,' said Col. T. F. Wessels, provostmarshall at U.S. army headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany. They contain chieflywooden toys laboriously made by hand by the prisoners to send to their children,and even hand made shoes for their wives and mothers. Many German captivesrefrained from smoking and sent their cigarette allowances and candy. Many sentbooks about American life."[28]An attempt is made by British officials to justify the enslavement on the groundsthat the men are prisoners of war, and that as such they can be forced to workunder the Geneva Convention rules. It is said that the war is not yet legally ended,that the prisoners are still soldiers of the German Government, and that whenthey return to Germany it will be the responsibility of the German Government togive them their pay accumulated as soldiers and prisoners. This argument restson the assumption that there is a German government. But they also argue thatrepatriation of the prisoners cannot take place, as called for by the GenevaConvention as soon as hostilities are over, because there has been no armistice orpeace treaty signed with Germany, and that none can be signed at present,because there is no German Government.By similar double-talk they justify feeding the prisoners rations well below armystandards on the pretext that the Geneva Convention which requires standardarmy rations has expired with World War II; yet, when press representatives askto examine the prison camps, the British loudly refuse, with the excuse that theGeneva Convention bars such visits to prisoner-of-war camps.[29]The International Red Cross, the highest authority on the subject, roundlycondemns the slave system. As related from Geneva:"The United States, Britain, and France, nearly a year after peace, are violatingInternational Red Cross agreements they solemnly signed in 1929."Investigation at Geneva headquarters today disclosed that the transfer ofGerman war prisoners captured by the American army to French and Britishauthorities for forced labor is nowhere permitted in the statutes of theInternational Red Cross, which is the highest authority on the subject in theworld."Although thousands of the former German soldiers are being used in thehazardous work of clearing mine fields, sweeping sea mines, destroying surplusammunition and razing shattered buildings, the Geneva Convention expresslyforbids employing prisoners 'in any dangerous labor or in the transport of anymaterial used in warfare.'"Russia refused to attend the 1929 conference of the International Red Cross andJapan never ratified that convention, so neither Moscow nor Tokyo was bound bythe provisions regulating war prisoners."'The American delivery of German prisoners to the French and British for forcedlabor already is being cited by the Russians as justification for them to retainGerman army captives for as long as they are able to work,' an International RedCross official admitted. 'The bartering of captured enemy soldiers by the victorsthrows the world back to the dark ages - when feudal barons raided adjoiningduchies to replenish their human live stock.'"[30]A Red Cross observer condemns the enslavement in these words:"It is an iniquitous system and an evil precedent because it is wide open forabuses with difficulty in establishing responsibility. German soldiers were notcommon law convicts - they were drafted to fight in a national army on patrioticgrounds and could not refuse military service any more than the Americanscould. It is manifestly unjust to buy and sell them for political reasons as theAfrican Negroes were a century ago."[31]It must be emphasized, moreover, that many of the slaves were never Germansoldiers. Many were civilian Germans held in America during the war, includingseamen picked up before we entered the war, former legal residents of the UnitedStates, and persons brought here by force from Latin America for having pro-German sentiments. Even anti-Nazi Germans who have voluntarily returned toGermany from America to help the military government rebuild the destroyedcountries and to help families and friends in dire need have been nabbed forenslavement.[32]In sharp contrast with our treatment of German war prisoners was Germantreatment of American war prisoners. Allan Wood, war front correspondent ofthe London Express, in summarizing German treatment of their prisoners said:"The most amazing thing about the atrocities in this war is that there have beenso few of them. I have come up against few instances where the Germans havenot treated prisoners according to the rules, and respected the Red Cross."[33]Lieutenant Newton L. Marguiles, Assistant Judge Advocate of Jefferson Barracks,said in St. Louis, Mo., April 27, 1945:"The Germans even in their greatest moments of despair obeyed the Conventionin most respects. True it is that there were front line atrocities - passions run highup there - but they were incidents, not practices; and maladministration of theirAmerican prison camps was very uncommon."[34]Chief of Staff Gen. George C. Marshall, on Jan. 5, 1945, wrote to the NationalCommander of the American Legion:"Our treatment of them" (prisoners of war) "is governed by the Genevaconvention which, among other provisions, requires them to be furnished rationsequal in quality and quantity to those of American troops at base camps in thiscountry. This is done as a matter of treaty obligation and our soldiers in Germanhands receive generally reciprocal treatment."[35]The American Red Cross in 1945 reported officially that "99 per cent of theAmerican prisoners of war in Germany have survived and are on their wayhome."German treatment of Russian war prisoners was on a par with Russian treatmentof German war prisoners. Since Russia had not signed the Geneva Convention,neither it nor Germany was bound by its provisions. And it must be rememberedthat the atrocities in German concentration camps did not involve war prisoners,but people supposed to be German, people who now proudly admit, those whohave survived, that they were members of the German underground, saboteurs,doing their best to obstruct and defeat the German war effort. The treatment theyreceived, while deplorable and inhuman in the extreme, is on a par with Russiantreatment of her political prisoners. If one is to be condemned, so must the other,if there is to be justice. Otherwise, we are guilty of rank discrimination,condemning a crime committed by one, condoning or overlooking it whencommitted by another. If we really fought this war to stop such things, the warwill not be over until the inmates of the Russian slave camps are also liberated. Ifwe fought a half trillion dollar war to free those in German camps only, but not tofree those in Russian camps, an explanation is due.In any case, we must ask ourselves what we would do if we should go to war with,let us say, Russia, and were beset from within by an "underground" movement ofsabotaging Communist fifth-columnists.An attempt has been made to justify enslavement of the common man ofGermany on the ground that the Nazi government exacted forced labor fromforeign workers. It is true that the Reich had millions of imported workers, but itis also true that, except for special cases such as war prisoners coming under theGeneva Convention, they were for the most part paid and fed well.Dr. James K. Pollock, for 14 months with AMG [American Military Government],said of Germany's "forced laborers": "I think some of the persons foundthemselves better off than at any time in their lives before."[36] A mass ofevidence proves that this is true and that Allied war propaganda to the contrarywas greatly exaggerated. Besides, there can be no justification for punishing theaverage citizen of any country for the sins of its political leaders.In July, 1946, Max H. Forester, chief of AMG's coal and mining division whenasked, "What did the Germans do to get efficient production for forced labor thatwe are not able to do with Germans working the mines?" replied: "They fed theirhelp and fed them well."[37]The American Federation of Labor in the summer of 1946 came out stronglyagainst the slave system as a fundamental threat to free labor all over the world.Calling attention to tariff laws which specifically forbid the importation fromforeign countries of goods produced wholly or in part by convict, forced,indentured, or any other form of involuntary labor,[38] AF of L spokesmanHerbert Thatcher warned in a radio address that the slave labor system maygrind down trade and production to a level that can lead to another war.Conditions of slave labor in Britain, France, and Russia, he said, "menace worldpeace and they destroy world trade." - "Therefore, the American Federation ofLabor," he concluded, "calls upon the United States government to propose to theUnited Nations that all member nations renounce the use of forced labor andagree to bar the products of forced labor from world trade."[39]Upon his return from the Nuernberg trial Justice Jackson, who had served as U.S. chief prosecutor, reported to President Truman that German industrialists andfinanciers could be tried "on such specific charges as the use of slave labor." Hewent on to say:"We negotiated and concluded an agreement with the four dominant powers ofthe earth which for the first time made explicit and unambiguous what wastheretofore, as the tribunal has declared, implicit in international law, namely,that . . . to enslave or deport civilian populations is an international crime andthat for the commission of such crimes individuals are responsible."[40]Willis Smith of Raleigh, N. C., President of the American Bar Association, indefending the Nuernberg convictions said:"The time has come when men who order criminal things to be done shouldthemselves be declared criminals. Since when are murder and deportations andslave labor not crimes?"[41]DenazificationGermany under Hitler was ruled by the single National Socialist German Workersparty, with all other parties outlawed. The system in this respect was similar tothat of the Communists of Russia who since the 1917 coup d'etat have enforced aone party system upon the Russian people and treated all dissident politicalopinions as treason.Rejecting parliamentarism, the Nazis followed what they called the leadershipprinciple. The chief leader or "Fuehrer" exercised supreme authority; under himdescending layers of subordinate leaders spread out fan-wise through allbranches of society to bring the entire German nation under centralized partycontrol.After it took over, leaders in all walks of life found it necessary or expedient tojoin the party or one or more of its affiliated organizations. Among its 7,500,000members were nearly all government workers, professional men, scientists,technicians, professors, teachers, writers, and businessmen inducted as "führers"of business and compelled under heavy penalties, such as confiscation ofproperty, to conform to party policies and mandates. White collar workers,craftsmen, and technicians had to fall in line to be eligible for promotion.Membership expanded rapidly during the war and the period of high tensionimmediately preceding. Party and nation became so closely identified that to joinwas to display patriotism; to refuse, to invite penalization for disloyalty. In short,almost everybody in Germany with brains, skills, and managerial ability belongedto the Nazi party, or one of its affiliated organizations and obeyed its orders.By placing sole blame for the war on Germany and therefore the Nazi party, bydeclaring the war to be one of aggression, and by outlawing aggression as a crimeagainst humanity, Germany's conquerors have condemned the Nazi party, itsaffiliates, and its millions of members as criminal. The punishment meted out atPotsdam, if carried out to the letter, would mean the virtual liquidation ofGermany's middle and upper classes.The blanket incrimination rests upon an infirm base, as revealed in the Potsdamdenazification decrees. In one breath they order that all "discrimination ongrounds of . . . political opinion shall be abolished"; yet in the next breath theypermanently dissolve the Nazi party and its affiliated organizations andinstitutions, ban propagation of Nazi political opinion, without identifying it inparticular, and call for severe punishment of all Nazis simply for being Nazis.Potsdam commands that "Nazi leaders, influential Nazi supporters and highofficials of Nazi organizations and institutions . . . shall be arrested and interned"and that all lesser Nazis "shall be removed from public and semi-public office andformer positions of responsibility in private undertakings."In attempting to carry out these unusual edicts, which were looked upon as apurge order "to throw the rascals out," the American military government issued"Law Number Eight" to denazify business and various mandatory removal edicts,the exact provisions of which were military secrets, to purge government of allNazis. Approximately 3,000,000 German men were affected in our zone out of atotal population of 16,682,000. Our occupation authorities jailed 75,000 andearmarked another 80,000 unreturned war prisoners for internment for beingimportant Nazis; ousted more than 100,000 from public office; and denudedbusiness of managerial and technical talent by firing and demoting hundreds ofthousands of others.[42]In other words, we set out to ruin the lives and reputations of three million menin our zone alone because, as they see it, they made a "political mistake." Inconsequence, the Germans are afraid to identify themselves with any politicalparty or to express any political views, for fear of being punished later on, just asthe Nazis are being punished now.Most important of all, the zone and its people have been denied the economicbenefits which would accrue if these men were permitted to do the work whichthey alone by talent, training, and experience are capable of performing. Puttingthe zone's most productive men in pick and shovel gangs and filling their placeswith incapables has been one of the chief contributing causes to the zone'seconomic paralysis.Our occupation authorities have been confronted with two opposing mandateswhich often set them to working at cross purposes. They were ordered atPotsdam to secure enough production to supply the needs of the occupationforces and the "displaced persons," with enough left over "to enable the Germanpeople to subsist without external assistance." In the attempt to carry out thismandate some of our zonal authorities, for example, might be out scouring thezone with scanty success for trained personnel to run the undermanned railwaysystem. But at the same time, some of our other authorities, attempting toenforce the denazification decrees, would be out ahead of the others nabbing andjailing trainmen and locomotive engineers, because they had been Nazis.Administration of the denazification decrees proved to be a task of forbiddingmagnitude. The limited AMG personnel found it impossible to get the threemillion Nazis properly registered, their questionnaires filled out and tabulated,and proper files set up. Nor could individual trials and hearings for so many beproperly conducted, especially when each error added to the rising tide ofGerman indignation.Fearing organized resistance, we carried out in Gestapo fashion one of thegreatest mass raids in history. Striking at daybreak without warning, our troopshalted every vehicle in our zone, checked the papers of civilians and soldiers, andswept through every German house from cellar to attic. Although the Germanpopulace had supposedly been under the influence and domination of criminalsand criminal organizations for a dozen years, according to the men in charge "thesearch showed less crime than perhaps would be uncovered in a similar actionover a comparable area in the United States."[43]A few months of experience proved to us that in the denazification program wehad taken hold of a very hot iron, impossible to hold, yet difficult to drop. Wetherefore tossed it to the Germans for them to handle.The law turning the job of denazification in our zone over to the Germans waslargely formulated by one Heinrich Schmitt, a corpulent Communist Quislingserving under AMG as Bavarian Denazification Minister. The execution of the lawwas also partly placed in his hands.[44] This sort of thing is a logical outgrowth ofthe program which automatically places political responsibility on formerpolitical neutrals or active anti-Nazis, including Communists, who, withCommunist Russia signing the Potsdam Declaration, must be accepted as"democratic."The law is designed to permit some Nazis, otherwise condemned, to prove theirinnocence or pay the penalties and be restored to citizenship. It sets up fivecatgories of war criminals and potentially dangerous persons, namely:1) Major offenders, 2) offenders broadly described as Nazi activists, militarists,and profiteers, 3) lesser offenders, 4) followers, constituting the broadmembership of the party and affiliates, and 5) persons exonerated after a tribunalfinds them innocent.Penalties for those in the first category range from death or life imprisonment toimprisonment for five or more years with or without hard labor. Those in thesecond category may be imprisoned for a period up to ten years. Those in lowercategories are subject to a variety of "sanctions," including loss of citizenship andthe right to vote, debarment from public office, loss of personal rights such as theprivilege to own an automobile, demotion in position with heavy cut incompensation, discharge from position, confiscation of property, andemployment only at ordinary labor. [45]To make matters easier, we granted an amnesty to all Nazis in our zone under 27years of age who had no special charges against them. The action readmitted tocitizenship about a million men who, as General Clay put it, had become Nazisbefore they were old enough to know what they were doing. He failed to explainwhy the same consideration might not apply to most of the older men as well. Atany rate, the action was accompanied by a statement to the effect that it was thedesire of the military govemment "to offer encourgement to the youth ofGermany to understand and develop a democratic way of life."[46]Unfortunately, most of those pardoned under the blanket order were in France,Britain, Belgium, Holland, Russia or elsewhere for indefinite terms performingforced labor in the manner of convicts.Within a few months left wing critics again began to complain that the elaborateGerman court system which had been set up to adjudicate the million remainingcases was far too lenient, that it was permitting Hitler's Hordes to creep back. InNovember 1946, Lt. Gen. Lucius D. Clay expressed concern over the leniencybeing shown Nazis in German courts. Setting a 60 day deadline before which theGermans must prove they had developed "the will to do this job which is notpresent today," he warned that the military government was ready to take backthe job of denazification unless the German courts tightened up. The day beforethe following Christmas, Gen. McNarney proclaimed a general amnesty forapproximately 800,000 "little Nazis" in the U.S. zone. Included were minor Naziswhose incomes during the calendar years 1943 and 1945 were less than 3,000marks and whose taxable property in 1945 did not exceed 20,000 marks.Nevertheless, in the autumn of 1946 the Allied Control Council's CoordinatingCommittee passed general denazification laws for the whole of Germanypatterned after the American zonal law, with enforcement, however, left entirelyto each zonal authority.[47] This loophole permits the other occupationgovernments to continue to denazify as they see fit, which thus far has been withgreater reasonableness and leniency than have been exercised in the Americanzone where enforcement, in other words, has been far more rigid and drastic thanelsewhere. At Stuttgart Mr. Byrnes was able to boast that denazification in theAmerican zone had been completed.Less than four weeks later, the Nuernberg tribunal handed down its momentousdecision. Out of 22 arch-Nazis the Allied court, which certainly cannot be accusedof judicial neutrality or leniency, and which tried the cases on four all-embracingcounts, gave the death penalty to only 12, life imprisonment to three, prisonterms ranging from 10 to 20 years to four, and acquitted three. If three of the veryhighest Nazis were free of all guilt, and four others were only partly guilty, thebroad party membership could not be seriously guilty at all. This means that thedenazification decrees which condemn all Nazis without trial are thoroughlyunjust. The Nuernberg proceedings themselves have been roundly condemnedfor violating basic principles of Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence, particularly forcondemning on the basis of ex-post facto law, for placing partisan judges on thebench, and for excluding evidence that would reflect on the victorious powers.But the verdict handed down at Potsdam was still worse, for there a blanketverdict of guilty was pronounced, without even a pretense of trial, evidence, ortestimony. Under the present denazification laws, all Nazis are still guilty, unlessthey can prove themselves innocent in the face of procedure which permitsviolation of the accepted rules of evidence.[48]The Nuernberg tribunal also tried various Nazi organizations to determinewhether or not they and their members were criminal. The SS, Gestapo, SD - eliteguard, secret police, and security police - and the higher brackets of the Nazileadership corps were adjudged criminal organizations. This means that foracquittal, some 400,000 members must prove they were forced to join or knewnothing of the criminality. Punishment ranges to the death penalty. On the otherhand, the SA - original storm troopers - was dismissed as not linked withconspiracy to wage aggressive war, and the General Staff, High Command, andBrown Shirts were found not guilty. Certainly, then, the broad masses of theGerman people could not be guilty, and should not be punished.The denazification program in general and the Nuernberg trial in particularviolates our traditional ideas of justice; on the contrary, they embody the Naziand Communist concept of jurisprudence - the liquidation of ideologicalopponents. As Barron's weekly says:". . . the punishment is being meted out one-sidedly to the vanquished. After all,except that they did not commit the same spectacular atrocities on the spot, theRussians did just about the same things in Poland that the Nazis did. Thus acombination of excusably fanatic Nazi-haters and purposeful fellow-travelers hasprovided a Roman holiday by exploiting our legitimate desire for a newinternational law."In the eyes of the world we have adopted the Communist view of justice."[49]Even worse, we have permitted Communists, whose worst doctrines and those ofthe Nazis are identical, to continue to preach and agitate and even to work theirway into key positions in our military govemment. When we first arrived theGermans were strongly anti-Communist; they have since started fleeing our zoneand entering the Russian where they are welcomed into the Communist party andeven into the Red Army, in whose ranks they may someday be able to get theirrevenge against us.Denazification in the Russian zone has been far more enlightened and lesseconomically disruptive. The strong men of the Kremlin could hardly takeseriously the condemnation of all Nazis as criminals when they know full wellthat their own party, which rules Russia much as the Nazi party ruled Germanyand which demands the same blind obedience of its members, is guilty of everyact for which we so strongly condemn the Nazis: wars of aggression againstpeaceful neighbors, wars of nerves, confiscation of property of whole classeswithout compensation to the owners, violation of treaties and agreements,hostility toward religion, concentration camp atrocities, slave labor, looting andabusing conquered countries, the use of fifth columns and Quislings, one-partyrule by terror with the aid of civilian informers and a brutal secret police system,stifling of human rights and individual liberties of all kinds, and even the aim toconquer the world.The Russians know this and so do the Germans. When we condone the one andcondemn the other we become ridiculous in the eyes of both.The attitude of the Kremlin toward denazification was expressed years ago andprobably has not changed since. Russia in partnership with Hitler had justattacked, defeated, and partitioned Poland and Hitler had proposed that since theissue which had started the war had been settled, all the belligerents should stopfighting and call a general disarmament conference. Britain and France haddeclined with the terse remark that they would fight on for the "extermination ofHitlerism." The Kremlin scoffed. Its reaction, which is probably still its innerconviction, was reported by the Associated Press from highly censored Moscow(Oct 9, 1939), as follows:"Soviet Russia threw her weight behind Adolph Hitler's peace gestures today inan editorial in the government newspaper Izvestia, accusing Great Britain andFrance of 'returning to the middle ages' for waging war to 'exterminate Hitlerism.'"Izvestia asserted British-French arguments that the war must be prolonged tocrush Hitlerism 'makes us return to the gloomy middle ages when devastatingreligious wars were carried on to exterminate heretics and people of differentreligions.' The paper asserted:"'It is impossible to exterminate any idea or any opinion by fire and sword."'One may respect or hate Hitlerism or any other system of political opinion. Thatis a matter of taste. But to begin a war for the 'extermination of Hitlerism' meansto admit to criminal silliness in policy.'"Potsdam's decrees calling for the "extermination of Hitlerism" have been highlyuseful to the Kremlin, however, for they have provided a basis for the liquidationof the German "bourgeoisie" and therefore set the stage for ultimatecommunization. The necessary expropriation of property has been accomplishedthrough confiscation of the holdings of Nazis, absentee fugitives, "war profiteers,"and other classes of synthetic criminals. But once a nominal Nazi in the Russianzone has been dispossessed he is offered a chance to redeem himself. He is givenhis job back if he works satisfactorily for six months with clean-up crews.Denazification is thus linked to "Aufbau" or reconstruction.[50] Minor offendershave been tried in German courts and penitent Nazis are invited to join theCommunist party.[51] According to Reuters, German military officers have beentaken into the Red army by invitation. When the officers cross the zonal frontiersthey are nominally "arrested," placed in quarantine camps, and invited to enlist.Upon acceptance, they are given preferential treatment. In other words, theunion of the Red and Nazi armies has begun.[52]In her zone, Russia is taking full advantage of the many points of similaritybetween her own system and that of the Nazis under Hitler. Some Germans areremarking that "Communism is nothing but National Socialism under a differentname."[53] While we continue to pound away at the evils of Nazism, which weapparently consider as something unique, Russia, which our army men have beenordered not to criticize, matches up these evils to those of her own system andthereby facilitates the desired transformation from the one to the other.By eliminating the "bourgeoisie" in our zone we have played into the Kremlin'shands, for the action has removed the principle barrier to the establishment ofthe "dictatorship of the proletariat," and ultimate absorption of the zone into theSoviet Union - the Kremlin's own United Nations. Our entire denazificationprocedure has been highly satisfactory to Moscow, for the greater the chaos,despair, and disgust we create, and the greater the resentment of the Germanpeople becomes, the stronger becomes the grip of Communism, and the closer wecome to losing everything for which we fought the war.

4 THE ATTACK AGAINST THE GERMAN CAPITAL The sacking of Germany after her unconditional surrender will go down inhistory as one of the most monstrous acts of modern times. Its excess beggarsdescription and its magnitude defies condemnation.Allied armies that swept into Germany came with blood in their eyes and theconviction born of propaganda that the Germans had lost caste as members ofthe human race, were unworthy of protection afforded by human law andcivilized institutions such as property rights and security of person. It was notthought of as looting, but simply as helping one's self to property the Germanshad forfeited by being German.Russian soldiers were particularly ravenous, their appetites for loot beingrestrained only by the limitation placed on their own rights to hold property.Things the individual Russian soldier could keep, such as wrist watches, theysnatched on sight, even from the arms of Yankees.The serious looting by the Russians was conducted officially, systematically andthoroughly. Every house and apartment was entered, searched, and stripped ofeverything at once valuable and movable - jewelry, silverware, works of art,clothing, household appliances, money. Stores, shops, warehouses wereransacked. Farms were denuded of farm animals, machinery, seed reserves,fodder, wine and food stocks. Telephones were removed from residences,telephone and telegraph lines and equipment were dismantled. Automobiles,motor trucks, even fire engines, were seized. Everything not nailed down washauled away.[l] For the German standard of living must be lowered to the averageof Europe.The Russian armies of occupation, kept equal in size to the combined occupationforces of the western powers, live off the land, paying for requisitions by paperoccupation marks. Exorbitant occupation costs afford the Kremlin an effectivedevice for milking the territory. Charges in the Soviet zone of Austria are severaltimes greater, relatively, than those the Germans imposed on France, Belgium,Holland, Greece, and elsewhere.[2] This, despite Austria's promised "liberated"status.All of the Allies have issued huge amounts of military currency which theGermans are forced to accept in "payment." It is conservatively estimated thataltogether they have pumped into the country between 15 billion and 20 billionoccupation marks as against a normal currency circulation of between 7 and 9billion.[3] This means that the four powers have obtained between 2 and 4 billiondollars worth of German property for the mere cost of printing money issued inpayment.Just as there was a preponderance of American forces in the armies that struckagainst the west and south of Germany, so in these sectors was thepreponderance of the looting American. Chicago Daily News foreigncorrespondent William H. Stoneman, stationed with the U.S. 3rd Army, wrote inMay, 1945, when Germany was surrendering:"I have been impressed by the careless manner in which the booty has beenhandled and the way in which great stocks of foodstuffs have been left to thereckless inroads of looters."[4]A few days later he cabled:"Millions of dollars worth of rare things varying from intricate Zeiss lenses tobutter and cheese and costly automobiles are being destroyed because the Armyhas not organized a system for the recovery of valuable enemy material."Frontline troops are rough and ready about enemy property. They naturally takewhat they find if it looks interesting, and, because they are in the front lines,nobody says anything."There are no M.P.s in the front lines."But what front-line troops take is nothing compared to the damage caused bywanton vandalism of some of the following troops."They seem to ruin everything, including the simplest personal belongings of thepeople in whose houses they are billeted."Today, we have had two more examples of this business, which would bringtears to the eyes of anybody who has appreciation of material values."First I found two boxcars loaded with magnificent Zeiss rangefinders for ack-ackguns, thousands of rare lenses, worth at rough estimate, perhaps $1,000,000."Most of the things we saw there - many of them scattered about the tracks - werepriceless, and thousands of dollars worth of stuff had been scattered as G.I.scombed boxcars for binoculars and other items which appeared easy to sell.Anybody with any knowledge of precision instruments would have cried his eyesout to see instruments worth $500 to $1,000 scattered around like so much junk."Later I visited a warehouse which had been loaded with textiles and it was like apigsty."There still were thousands of yards of printed cotton goods and artificial woolengoods lying around, but much more bad been looted by somebody or other."[5]In one case looting resulted in arrests and trials. A WAC Captain and a Colonelwere arrested in America and tried in Frankfurt, Germany, for taking $1,500,000worth of jewels, mostly of the House of Hesse, from a castle owned by PrincessMargaret of Hesse, granddaughter of Queen Victoria. Defense attorneys at thetrials made clear the extent of looting which had been done and the philosophybehind it. An on the scene account reads as follows:"The princess scored heavily against the defense contention that the owners ofthe jewels were just a bunch of Nazis whose loss was a misfortune of war whichshould not be singled out for prosecution from among hundreds of thousands ofthefts from Germans by the American army personnel."[6] (emphasis added)It is, indeed, unlikely that the case would have gone to trial had the owners lackedsuch imposing connections. It is well known that we took from German museumssome 200 art masterpieces with the intention of keeping them. Public opinionwas so outraged that President Truman found it expedient to promise theirreturn; yet no one was prosecuted or even arrested.American Provost Marshall Lt. Col. Gerald F. Beane, whose duty it is to deal withcrimes committed by our soldiers, in an official report released in Berlin late in1945 on the nature and extent of criminality in our army of occupation stated thatlarceny and robbery are the crimes most frequently committed by our soldiers. Aleading daily comments:"As to the crimes against property, the explanation is fairly obvious. No effectivesteps were taken to discourage looting by the invading armies during the war.Officers and men alike committed this crime and for much the most part wentunpunished. It was tolerated under some such euphemism as souvenir collecting.The habit of stealing, once formed, is difficult to break. The fault, of course, lieswith the high command which permitted the abuse. Col. Beane's pronouncementsuggests that the army is tardily seeking to correct its error."[7]Most of this type of looting died out during the first year of occupation; after thatthe methods became more subtle and indirect. Late in July, 1946, GI's were calledto task for "sleeper purchases" of German properties which could be bought atthe time for almost nothing, but which may some day have great value.[8] Fulladvantage has been taken of the currency chaos. In September, 1946, militaryauthorities, to kill American profiteering in the black markets and illegalacquisition of foreign exchange, issued a new scrip currency, to replace all"foreign and allied military currencies in financial transactions throughoutUnited States army installations."[9] And if official Russian accusations can begiven credence, American officials have stolen equipment from plants in our zoneearmarked for shipment to Russia on reparations account and sold it to foreigncountries for their personal profit.[10]However, the type of looting just discussed, although it has run in value intohundreds of millions of dollars and robbed the German people of comforts andnecessities they have sorely needed during the dreadful days through which theyare having to pass, is but petty larceny as compared to the gigantic program ofindustrial sacking authorized at Potsdam.Economic Cannibalism - Potsdam decrees that future German production shall be so limited by the AlliedControl Council that the average German standard of living will not exceed theaverage of the standards of living of other European countries, exclusive ofBritain and Russia, and that "productive capacity not needed for permittedproduction" shall be taken by the conquerors as plunder or destroyed. Theprostrated German economy must be drawn and quartered and its flesh fed toother economies, a project which has aptly been called "economic cannibalism."Potsdam piously recites, as a mere observation, not a mandate, that the program"should leave enough resources to enable the German people to subsist withoutexternal assistance." At the same time it admits that remaining resources aredisastrously inadequate, for it says that the war and defeat "have destroyedGerman economy and made chaos and suffering inevitable." Still, it proceeds tolay down a reparations program to destroy or remove a large part of the scantyremaining production facilities.After much wrangling and horse trading, the Control Council in March, 1946,reached its decisions fixing the future levels of production both for Germany as awhole and for individual industries in accordance with Potsdam's stipulations. Asa top limit, but by no means a guaranteed minimum, Germany's output underthese orders may reach by 1949, but not surpass, the level to which it plunged atthe bottom of the great depression of 1932, just before the Nazis were voted intopower, when a third of the German workers were unemployed. .In carrying out the Potsdam mandate calling for the "elimination or control of allGerman industry that could be used for military production" and emphasis on"the development of agriculture and peaceful domestic industries," manyordinarily peaceful industries are entirely prohibited. These include shipbuilding,manufacture and operation of airplanes, ball and taper roller bearings, nearly alltypes of heavy machine tools, heavy materials, aluminum, magnesium, beryllium,vanadium, radioactive materials, hydrogen peroxide, and synthetic oil, gasolineand ammonia.Exports and imports are rigidly controlled and drastically restricted. Paymentsfor necessary imports are given first call on proceeds from exports. Imports areconfined mostly to a small amount of food and nitrates for fertilizer; exports arelimited largely to coal, potash, and lumber. Foreign trade in the ordinary sensehas been impossible, however, and will remain so, as long as the mark is given novalue in terms of other currencies.Future production of a large number of domestic industries is drasticallyrestricted. Electrical engineering is cut in half; mechanical engineering by twothirds.Synthetic textiles are sharply curtailed. Over-all chemical production isreduced to 45 per cent of the old level. Steel production may not surpass5,800,000 ingot tons a year, against the former 54,000,000 ton capacity.[11]Britain had argued that such a level would turn the Reich into an economic desertand had fought for a 7,500,000 ton level. Since Russia had held out for a muchlower figure, however, the 5,800,000 ton ceiling was reached as a compromise.All during the negotiations Russia had fought for extremely low productionceilings. She had even asked for a sharp reduction in permitted food imports, toreduce the volume of necessary exports, and thus to free more industrial booty inwhich she was to share. When a little later shipment of reparations to her fromthe western zones was halted, she suddenly reversed her stand, however, andasked for higher ceilings. Molotov specifically demanded higher coal productionand said, "The Reich must be permitted more steel, greater industry and foreigntrade."Mr. Byrnes at Stuttgart stubbornly defended the agreed production ceilings andinsisted the program would permit some betterment in the German standard ofliving if the German people would work and save hard enough.Apart from generating bitter despair through closing the door to any hope ofachieving prosperity, the ceilings have had little practical significance, becauseactual German output has remained far below the permitted levels. Our militaryauthorities have asserted that it will require years for German recovery to reachthe ceilings which have been set. The current effect of the program has beenlargely confined to repression of power to produce thorough destruction andremoval of productive capacity and other measures, such as the banning ofscientific research.German science, upon which German industry depended heavily, has been dealta lethal blow, partly by direct prohibitions and partly by the operations of thedenazification decrees which automatically ended the careers of the greatmajority of German scientists, at least within the Reich. Potsdam has orderedcontrol of "all German public or private scientific bodies, research andexperimental institutions, laboratories, etc., connected with economic activities."In harmony with this decree, German science has been suppressed by ordersfrom the Control Council.Research (in Germany) by scientists who had been Nazis or had contributed tothe development of German weapons, secret or otherwise, has been banned.Others, and they are very few, are forbidden to probe into a long list of specific,comprehensive subjects, 10 general categories of chemicals, and anything ofmilitary value or nature. Pure or theoretical science - explorations into the basiclaws of nature and the like - may be conducted by the few eligibles, but onlyunder military government surveillance.In other words, German science has been destroyed, and with it German ability tocompete commercially with the war victors.German scientists, as a matter of fact, have become a highly esteemed form ofwar plunder. Russia, the first to recognize their value, was unable to hide heranxiety and frantic efforts to grab as many as she could. Britain, France, and theUnited States were not slow in following her example, entering the competitionwith marked success. We even managed to kidnap a large number from thewestern Russian zone when we retired to let the Russians take over. At first ourinterest was confined to experts who had been working on war developments,especially atomic fission and secret weapons. Others in our zone, includingnumbers who had fled before the Red armies, were held in jail. We changed thiswasteful policy, however, after Dr. Roger Adams, head of the chemistrydepartment of the University of Illinois and scientific adviser to the deputygovernor of AMG, declared it unwise to confine ourselves only to war industryscientists, since many of those languishing in prison would prove equally valuableto us for other purposes if we chose to use them. In consequence we have now atour disposal hundreds of ex-German scientists who no doubt constitute one ofour most profitable acquisitions taken from the fallen Reich. Perhaps they shouldbe counted as reparation.In addition we have sent into Germany teams of experts to scour the country andsearch out all German patents, designs, and secret processes, privately owned, orotherwise. According to Assistant Secretary of State Willliam L. Clayton, intestimony before a U.S. Senate committee in June 1945:"We intend to secure the full disclosure of an existing German technology andinvention for the benefit of the United Nations. . . This Government and othergovernments with which Germany has been at war have reduced to their controlinventions and designs both patented and unpatented which were owned andcontrolled by German nationals at the time of the outbreak of war . . . It isprobable that no steps will be taken by either the legislative or executive branchof this government which would have the effect of returning such rights to theformer German owners."Mr. Morgenthau called for the industrial sacking of Germany by proposing that,instead of repeating the mistake made after the last war by demanding"reparations in the form of future payments and deliveries," requiringproduction and sale of exports, this time"reparations shall be effected by the transfer of existing resources and territories,e.g. . . . by transfer of German territory and German private rights in industrialproperty situated in such territory to invaded countries. . .; by the removal anddistribution among devastated countries of industrial plants and equipment . . .;by forced German labor outside Germany; and by confiscation of all Germanassets of any character whatsoever outside of Germany." (emphasis added)These proposals to trample on the sanctity of private German property couldhardly fail to meet with wholehearted approval in the Politburo. In effecting theprogram no pretense is made that the owners of confiscated private property willbe compensated now or later by either the Allies or the German government, forthe latter, if it is ever established, will no doubt be so weak that suchcompensation would be beyond its financial capacity.Yet the Hague convention in Article 46 in the section dealing with "MilitaryAuthority Over the Territory of the Hostile State" says: "Private property cannotbe confiscated." Article 53 underscores the point by saying that any privateproperty taken during an occupation "must be restored and compensation fixedwhen peace is made."In view of the present deadly, worldwide assault against the institution of privateproperty, those who pretend to be its defenders should insist upon adherence tothese provisions of international law. Flagrant Big Four violations not only createthe injustices the laws were established to prevent but incriminate the victors ofWorld War II for the very actions for which they so strongly and justlycondemned Hitler. One can readily understand why Socialistic Soviet Russiawould violate private property rights in occupied countries, but the same cannotbe said of the United States.Russia at Yalta took the lead in demanding that German reparations be set at 20billion dollars, half of which was to go to herself. President Roosevelt, engrossedas he was in his "great design," gambling that Russian suspicions of the westerncapitalistic powers could be allayed by giving Stalin everything he wanted, andmore, agreed to support the demand. Prime Minister Churchill, however, pointedout the obvious fact that if Germany was to be so weakened by deindustrializationthat she could not pay reparations from current production andif reparation was to be limited to plant and equipment discarded by deindustrialization,there could be no justification for Russia's position. The deindustrializationprogram would automatically limit the amount of reparation tothe amount to plant and equipment not ruined by war, less whatever amountwould be left to the Germans. For the sake of harmony, however, the 20 billiondollar figure was accepted "as a basis for discussion."At Potsdam Russia was apportioned the lion's share of the reparation. She was toreceive all from her own zone, plus 25 per cent from the other zones. Of the latter,two-fifths was to go to Russia outright and three-fifths was to be given to her "inexchange for an equivalent value of food, coal, potash, zinc, timber, day products,petroleum products, and such other commodities as may be agreed upon,"presumably to be taken from her zone. President Truman said of thearrangement: "It is a means of maintaining a balanced economy in Germany andproviding the usual exchange of goods between the eastern part and the western."In other words, one section of German economy must give up to Russia 15 percent of the flesh to be stripped from its bones in order to receive sustenance fromanother section - a most remarkable form of economic cannibalism.The value of Germany's bombed and battered plant and equipment remaining atthe end of the war has been officially estimated at between 5 and 10 billiondollars, of which 45 per cent was located in the Russian zone where Russia wasgiven a free hand. Under the "level of industry plan" 40 per cent of this was to beavailable for removal as reparation or destroyed. Total reparation, therefore,could not be more than 2 to 4 billions, and if Russia were to adhere to the generalplan in her zone her total share from all Germany could not exceed 2.4 billiondollars.At first Russia went along amicably with the program and, according to somereports, apparently took far less than the 40 per cent allowable from her ownzone. In March, 1946, the head of the local Thuringian government toldcorrespondents permitted to visit there on a conducted tour that Russia hasdismantled less than 100 out of Thuringia's 5,200 industries.[12] A later reporthad it that out of 6,272 industries in the province only 310 had been dismantled,of which 80 had been able to get under way again. Neither gave the relative sizeof the establishments seized. If the plants taken were of average size, theyconstituted only 2 to 5 per cent of the total. Early in the summer of 1946 theUnited States estimated that actual removals from the Russian zone amounted tobetween 500 and 750 million dollars, exclusive of war booty, restitution fordestroyed or stolen Russian goods, or occupation costs.[13] This was still lessthan the allowance. Considering how thoroughly she stripped such regions asManchuria and northern Iran before evacuating her troops, her early restraint inher German zone, if true, would suggest an ulterior motive.What this motive might be is indicated by the fact, also according to reports, thatover 90 per cent of the plants in her zone were in operation, with from 80 to 100per cent of their output going to Russia as occupation costs or reparation. Forexample, at one plant with an output of 20 million razors, the German marketwas to receive 3 million; the rest was to go to the Soviet Union. Persistent rumors,moreover, told of large German munitions plants operating day and night in thezone producing munitions and implements of war for the Soviet Union.Meanwhile reparations shipments from the western zones had gotten under wayin April. The first shipment was six shiploads carrying the physical assets of theDeschimag shipyard, Germany's largest, valued at $4,800,000. Soon to followwere 20 carloads of machinery and tools valued at $5,000,000, representing halfof the assets of the country's largest ball bearing plant. Other early shipmentsincluded the Gendorf unit of the Anorgana Chemical works, valued at$10,000,000 and the vast Daimler-Benz underground aircraft engine plant nearOberingheim.By May, according to Reparations Commissioner Edwin W. Pauley, the U.S. zonehad earmarked 144 plants for removal to Russia, of which 35 or 40 were actuallyshipped, before we suddenly halted further shipments on the ground that wemust do so to protect the economic interests of our zone until interzonaleconomic unity had been achieved, in harmony with Potsdam. Shortly beforethis, however, the western powers had failed to get the Russians to agree on howmuch inspection a four power commission would be allowed to do in all fourzones, including the Russian. The idea has originated in the Paris conference ofForeign Ministers to allay interzonal suspicions and to give each occupying powera clearcut picture of disarmament in other zones. Britain has hinted that shewanted to check rumors that munitions were being turned out in the Russianzone; Russia had retorted with the direct accusation that Britain had notdisbanded large units of the captured German army and wanted to investigate.Whatever the reasons, we stopped further shipments of reparations from ourzone. And then the storm broke loose.Russia apparently reversed her whole attitude toward Germany. In June at ParisMolotov declared it ridiculous to try to destroy Germany, called for a strong,centralized and economically balanced Reich with the Ruhr and Saar attached,specifically asked for higher steel and coal production levels than those Russiahad previously agreed upon, saying, "The Reich must be permitted more steel,greater industry and foreign trade," and added, "The Soviet Government insiststhat reparations from Germany to the amount of ten billion dollars be exactedwithout fail." His object was clear: Russia now wanted a Germany able andrequired to pay large reparations so heavy that socialization would becomemandatory, with "Anschluss" with the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics tofollow.Meanwhile, Russia was stripping her zone to the bone, implying that it wasnecessary to do so to guarantee a continued flow of reparations to the SovietUnion. Many of Germany's greatest producers of civilian goods were dismantledand shipped eastward. Among them were the two largest shoe factories (Lingeland Tack); the largest sugar refineries in the great beet-sugar region; the largestgrain processing mills in Europe, at Barby near Magdeburg; the great BembergSilk Mills, famous before the war for their hosiery and lingerie, and the ZeissOptical Works at Jena. All secondary rail lines were torn up and all electriclocomotives removed from the zone.But many of the confiscated plants were left in Germany where they could beoperated by Germans for Russia's benefit. She installed Russian or Communistforemen and placed Russians or Communists on the Boards of Directors. In thisfashion she acquired complete ownership and control of 200 of Germany's keyindustries comprising the zone's real economic wealth and employing 1,300,000workers - a third of the zone's working population. Examples of the industriesseized are all of the I.G. Farben Industrie plants in Saxony, including the famousLeuna chemical factories at Merseburg, Bitterfeld, and Wollin; the Reich's onlyimportant copper works, the Mansfield Co., in Saxony; the machine works ofKrupp Gruson at Magdeburg; the Brabag Brown Coal and Gasoline Co., nearGera in Thuringia; the Polysius machine works at Dessau; and many of the mostimportant iron ore plants, machine tool factories, coal mine companies, potashmines, and electrical plants.America, which from the beginning had been the most zealous in carrying out deindustrializationin its own zone, made no protest to Russia until it was learnedthat two establishments owned by American concerns, the United ShoeMachinery Co. and the Corn Products Refining Co., had been among those seized.We then offered the suggestion that Allied owned property should be exemptedfrom seizure and added the pious thought that plants producing civilian goodsshould be kept in Germany. Our note went unanswered. It is known, however,that Russia has invented numerous excuses to give her seizures apparent legality,among them being the contention that plants with international backing areabandoned property and that the owners, most of whom have fled or beenliquidated, were war profiteers.Since Britain had come forward with a scheme to nationalize the Ruhr and otherindustries in her zone, potentially worth billions of dollars, in a manner thatwould place title to much of it in her own hands as "custodian" without one centof compensation to the former owners, she had lost all moral ground on which tobase a protest against the Russian action. Nor could the French object, in view oftheir avaricious, vengeful treatment of their own zone, where looting has beenjust as thorough as in the Russian, but far less intelligent; where, for example,they demand most of the crops to be harvested and at the same time requisitiondraft animals in July just when most needed to help gather the harvest.Although America went about the business of dismantling and dynamitingGerman plants with more fervor than was at first exhibited in any other zone, ourmotive was quite different from the motives of our allies. Russia is anxious to getas much loot as possible from Germany and yet to make it produce abundantlyfor Russia to help make her new five year plan successful, and ultimately toabsorb the Reich into the Soviet Union. France is ravenous for loot, has beenanxious to destroy Germany forever and to annex as much of her territory aspossible. Britain has found uses for large amounts of German booty, wants to getrid of Germany as a trade competitor, while retaining her as a market for Britishgoods. The United States has no use for German plant and equipment as booty,and has often said so. We consider our own abundant production equipmentsuperior. Apart from one or two special cases, our primary interest in Germanassets has been in those located outside Germany, to eliminate Germancompetition in world trade. We are willing to permit the German people tosubsist on their own little plot of land, if they can, but we are determined thatthey never again shall engage in foreign commerce on an important scale. Inpartnership with Britain we have carried out a systematic campaign to root out allGerman contacts and assets located abroad and have put our own traders in theirplace.Known as the "replacement program," the campaign is closely related to the"safehaven" program which calls for the forcible elimination of all accumulationsof German capital abroad.The following extracts from testimony by assistant Secretary of State William L.Clayton before the "Kilgore Committee" of the U.S. Senate, June 25, 1945, tell thestory:"LATIN AMERICA""The government soon determined that German enterprises could not bepermitted to survive . . . in this hemisphere. The replacement program wasaccordingly evolved as a means of bringing about the elimination of Germanenterprises and of German interests."The businesses of any persons who were acting against the political andeconomic independence or security of the American republics 'shall be the objectof forced transfer or total liquidation.'" German economic and politicalpenetration in this hemisphere has, for the most part, been dealt a blow fromwhich it will probably not recover . . .""THE SAFEHAVEN PROGRAM""The replacement and safehaven programs are both based upon the commonknowledge that totalitarin Germany was able to marshall the ostensible privateinterests of German nationals abroad for the purpose of waging economic war." -"The safehaven program concerns itself with denying to Germany" among otherthings "the German capital investments already located abroad when the warbegan." - "The financial and corporate interests of German nationals locatedoutside of Germany have either been seized or will be subject to seizure." (Mr.Clayton also advocated that Germans with brains and skills, including citizens ofLatin American countries of German extraction who had publicly expressed anysympathy for the German cause, should be extradited and sent to Germany.)Accordingly, we have confiscated nearly a billion dollars of property in thiscountry believed by our Justice Department to be owned by Germans, althoughheld in the name of citizens of neutral countries such as Sweden and Switzerland.Attorney General Clark says the Justice Department contends these holdings nowbelong to the United States Government.The external operation of the program has been illustrated by our forcingSwitzerland, Sweden, Spain and other countries to hand over their Germanowned assets. Sweden, for example, held German wealth valued at 104 milliondollars. At the same time we held 200 million dollars of Swedish assets which wehad "blocked," that is, cut off from Swedish control during the war. We usedthese blocked funds as a club to compel Sweden to turn the assets over to us.After long negotiations, she finally did deliver 77 million dollars worth of theGerman resources and we in turn unblocked the 200 million dollars in Swedishfunds in America. After obtaining the funds we confiscated them and divided theloot with Britain and France.We were able to obtain half of the 200 to 250 million dollars worth of Germanassets held in Switzerland and pried loose over 100 million dollars worth ofGerman assets from Spain. We have used and are using every weapon andpressure at our command to root out and confiscate German assets all over theworld, and in the process, as Mr. Clayton testified, have dealt a death blow toGerman foreign trade.That we officially recognize that the program will also destroy Germany andexterminate the German people was made perfectly clear by Mr. Clayton in histestimony before the Kilgore Committee. Dr. Schimmel, chief investigator, hadinquired of the Under-Secretary of State if it were not true that the Germans hadmade their successful penetration of South American trade for the purpose ofacquiring superior information facilities. Mr. Clayton replied:"With the Germans it was not a matter of information, it was largely a matter ofnecessity. I mean they had to have foreign trade, they had to export in order tolive. The country has, as you know, very little natural resources. The only naturalresources of any consequence that they have are coal and potash, and they had toexport manufactured goods in order to acquire the raw materials that theyneeded in their economic life, in their industry, and foreign trade was anabsolute necessity for the Germans. "(emphasis added)Taking their foreign trade away from them, and making it impossible for them toexport manufactured goods, the program advocated by Mr. Clayton andembodied in the Potsdam agreements, was tantamount, therefore, topronouncing the death sentence on the German people.

5 BASTARDIZING THE GERMAN RACENot only have the conquerors set out to destroy Germany economically by pullingdown the three pillars of production but they have launched an assault againstthe German race itself by an attack against its mothers. From the record itappears that the men who met at Yalta deliberately formulated a diabolicalprogram of racial bastardization which they considered an appropriate responseto the claim of racial superiority.A Russian General told General Ira Eaker, Commander of the Mediterannean airforces:"We've decided just to kill all the German men, take 17,000,000 Germanwomen and that will solve it." Something on this order was obviously the intent.The millions of German men of marriageable age not killed or disabled in warwere marched off into slavery where they could not protect their wives,sweethearts, daughters and sisters. And then the attack began.From the east came the Bolshevized Mongolian and Slavic hordes, repeatedlyraping every captured woman and girl, contaminating them with venerealdiseases and impregnating them with a future race of Russo-German bastards. Inthe west the British used colonial troops, the French Sengalese and Moroccans,the Americans an excessively high percentage of negroes. Our own method wasnot so direct as the Russian: instead of using physical force, we compelled theGerman women to yield their virtue in order to live - to get food to eat, beds tosleep in, soap to bathe with, roofs to shelter them.Senator Eastland of Mississippi, after a European tour of observation, told hiscolleagues in the U.S. Senate early in December, 1945: "The virtue of womanhoodand the value of human life are civilized man's most sacred possessions, yet theyare the very cheapest thing in Russian-occupied Germany today."He had learned first-hand of such incidents as the following, told by a priest in aletter smuggled out of Breslau, Germany, September 3, 1945:"In unending succession were girls, women and nuns violated. . . Not merely insecret, in hidden corners, but in the sight of everybody, even in churches, in thestreets and in public places were nuns, women and even eight-year-old girlsattacked again and again. Mothers were violated before the eyes of their children;girls in the presence of their brothers; nuns, in the sight of pupils, were outragedagain and again to their very death and even as corpses."[l]Meanwhile newspaper headlines assured us that "Ivan and Joe Are BrothersUnder the Skin."Prime Minister Churchill had told the Germans in January, 1945, just before theysurrendered unconditionally:"We Allies are no monsters. This, at least, I can say on behalf of the UnitedNations. . . Peace, though based on unconditional surrender, will bring toGermany and Japan immense and immediate alleviation of suffering andagony."[2]When our Russian Allies "liberated" Danzig they promptly liberated all thewomen of their virtue and chastity - by raping all - from small girls to ladies asmuch as 83 years of age. A 50-year-old teacher says that her niece, 15, wasviolated seven times the day after the Russians arrived, while her other niece, 22,was raped 15 tirnes the same day. When women of the city pleaded for protection,a Russian officer told them to seek shelter in the Catholic Cathedral. Afterhundreds of women and girls were securely inside, the brave sons of motherRussia entered and "playing the organ and ringing the bells, kept up a foul orgythrough the night, raping all the women, some more than 30 times.[3]A Catholic pastor of Danzig states: "They even violated eight-year-old girls andshot boys who tried to shield their mothers."It was the same in all regions overrun by the Communist Armies. When Berlinfell the Commander told his Russian soldiers the women of the city were theirs,to help themselves. They did! The only escape the women had was suicide.The following is an eye-witness account of what the Russians did in easternGermany written by a veteran American newspaperman who had been takenprisoner by the Germans in Paris and later freed by the Russians with whom hestayed for nearly three months as they swept over eastern Germany and on toBerlin and beyond:"REDS TERRORIZE CONQUERED WITH RAPE AND DEATH"London, August 4, 1945 - As our long line of British Army lories (trucks)carrying American, British, and French liberated prisoners of war from theRussian to the main Anglo-American zone of Germany rolled through the mainstreet of Brahlsdorf, the last Russian occupied-town, a pretty blond girl dartedfrom the crowd of Germans watching us and made a dash for our truck."Clinging with both hands to the tailboard, she made a desperate effort to climbin. But we were driving too fast and the board was too high. After being draggedseveral hundred yards she had to let go and fell on the cobblestone street."That scene was a dramatic illustration of the state of terror in which women inRussian-occupied eastern Germany were living. All these women, Germans,Polish, Jewish, and even Russian girls 'freed' from Nazi slave camps weredominated by one desperate desire - to escape from the Red zone.""In the district around our internment camp - the territory comprising the townsof Schlawe, Lauenburg, and Buckow and hundreds of larger villages - Redsoldiers during the first weeks of their occupation raped every woman and girlbetween the ages of 12 and 60. That sounds exaggerated but it is the simpletruth."(emphasis added)"The only exceptions were girls who managed to remain in hiding in the woods orwho had the presence of mind to feign illness - typhoid, dyptheria or some otherinfectious disease. Flushed with victory - and often with wine found in the cellarsof rich Pomeranian land owners - the Reds searched every house for women,cowing them with pistols or tommy guns, and carried them into their tanks ortrucks."Husbands and fathers who attempted to protect their women folk were shotdown and girls offering extreme resistance were murdered."Some weeks after the invasion, Red 'political commissions' began a tour of thecountryside ostensibly in search of members of the Nazi party. In every villagethe woman were told to report for examination of papers to these commissions,which looked them over and detained those with sex appeal. The youngest andprettiest were taken by the officers and the rest left to the mercy of the privates."This reign of terror lasted as long as I was with the Reds in Pomerania. Severalgirls whom I had known during my captivity committed suicide. Others died afterhaving been raped by ten soldiers in succession."In an isolated farmhouse where my French comrade and myself spent threemonths after joining the Reds, there were eight young girls from neighboringvillages hiding from the Reds. One was always on watch and when the Russianswere seen approaching they scampered off into a nearby woods and hid in thedense underbrush. This sometimes happened several times daily and the girlsnever had a quiet moment but while we were there the Reds never discoveredthem."All of these girls already had been raped and three of them - one a little girl of 13- were pregnant."Inevitably the Red occupation is having a disastrous effect on the morality of theinhabitants and the existing conditions of anarchy will exert an evil influence foryears. Many woman have been infected with venereal diseases and now a veryfew youthful girls have joined the Reds for pleasure and food and are helpingthem spot their compatriots."Whenever possible, girls attach themselves to liberated Anglo-American orFrench prisoners of war for protection against the Russians. Curiously, the Redsseemed to have a special code of honor in this respect - they will take an Alliedprisoner's watch but won't touch his girl."When the Red Army starts a big offensive its commanders held out prospects ofunrestricted rape and pillage as encouragement to the troops, but later they try tostem the tide of lust - not on grounds of humanity but because it threatens toundermine discipline."Squadrons of Cossacks, used by the Reds as they were by the Tsar, as mountedpolice, periodically surrounded villages in Pomerania and searched all the housesfor deserters and stragglers who had remained behind with women. The Cossacksmercilessly drove the soldiers off to jail with their 'nagaikas' - Cossack whips - butthey kept the women for their own pleasure."[4]In refusing Yamashita's plea for clemency General MacArthur in the followingwords condemned the Japanese leader for his maltreatment of the defenseless:"The soldier, be he friend or foe, is charged with the protection of the weak andunarmed. It is the very essence and reason for his being. When he violates thissacred trust, he not only profanes his entire cult but threatens the very fabric ofinternational society. The traditions of fighting men are long and honorable. Theyare based on the noblest of human traits - sacrifice."[5]The Russians were not alone in violating these principles. Police records ofStuttgart show that during the French occupation, 1,198 women were raped andeight men violated by French troops, mostly Moroccans. Dr. Karl Hartenstein,prelate of the Evangelical church in the city estimated the number at 5,000. FrauSchumacher, secretary of the police woman's section, in submitting adocumented report on numerous rapings, said that on the night the Frenchevacuated the city a child of 9 was raped and killed, her mother also raped andshot, and her father killed by Moroccans. In the town of Vailhingen, with apopulation of 12,000, for example, 500 cases of rape were reported.[6] So it wentin areas occupied by the French.While a good number of American troops have resisted the example of others anddeported themselves in a manner becoming their Christian backgrounds, therecord for our occupation forces as a whole is dark.An Associated Press dispatch from Nuernberg, Germany, quotes a letter whichappeared in STARS AND STRIPES written by Capt. Frederick B. Eutsler,Chaplain of the 478th United States port battalion, charging that public behaviorof American troops in Germany had become deplorable. He urged that thenewspaper "launch a crusade against this disgraceful conduct which is earning abad name for our army," and added, "I refer particularly to the assumption ofmany GI's that every German woman is immoral and it is their privilege to forcetheir attentions on these women and insult them with indecent proposals.[7]In April, 1946, the military authorities found it necessary to "crack down" andordered stricter adherence to soldierly standards so as not to "discredit" the "fineperformance of our troops in general."[8]That same month an anonymous staff sergeant wrote in STARS AND STRIPES acharge that married men in the army were afraid to bring their wives to Germanybecause many American soldiers behaved like "supercharged wolves" towardwomen in public. He wrote: "Wise up, men. The hardest part of the war is nowbeing fought, not with tommy guns, but with personalities. Let's show theGermans that we are men, not pigs."In reporting the latter, Edward P. Morgan of the Chicago Daily News foreignservice wrote:"Whether he knew it or not the sergeant aired a subject which long has been asore spot with Arnerican - and other - women in the European theatre. Askalmost any woman correspondent who has been around Europe at all and she willtell you reluctantly that the conduct of the average American soldier in publictoward women is "disgraceful" compared to the reserve and discipline of hisBritish, Russian, and French Allies."Now that spring has come to Bavaria, one of the favorite pastimes of the GI's inNuremberg seems to be to drive slowly along the curb in jeeps and reach out andpat the posteriors of startled frauleins."[9]When wives of men in our occupation forces arrived in Germany it becamenecessary, for their protection against indecent advances by American men, towear special badges on their arms to distinguish them from German women.One of the consequences of the immoralities of howling G.I. wolf packs is anupsurge in venereal diseases which has reached epidemic proportions. Before wearrived, although the rate had increased with the return of German soldiers fromFrance and North Africa, it was still moderate and well under control. After ourarrival, contamination soared. In December, 1945, only 7 per cent of Germancivilians receiving venereal disease treatment were men; by August, 1946,however, men constituted 41 per cent of the patients.[10] In other words,contamination had spread from our troops to the German women and finally toGerman men.A large proportion of the contamination has originated with colored Americantroops which we have stationed in great numbers in Germany and among whomthe rate of venereal infection is many times greater than among white troops. InJuly, 1946, the current rate of infections among white soldiers was 190 per 1,000men per annum, meaning that slightly less than one in five would be infected inthe course of a year. In contrast the rate among negro troops stationed in theAmerican zone of Germany was 771 per thousand![11] In speaking of this generalproblem, Lee Hills, Chicago Daily News foreign correspondent, writes:"Two of the biggest headaches in the American occupation of Germany areproblems we brought with us. One is the extreme youth and inexperience ourarmy men . . . The other problem - and one so politically touchy the WarDepartment is afraid to remedy - is the heavy use of Negro American troops. Theresult, despite some superb Army leadership at the top, is that American prestigehas steadily dropped from its V-E Day peak."The top men in Germany, almost without exception, think it's a mistake to haveso many (42,000) Negro troops here. 'They're simply not trained and disciplinedfor this job, which is vastly more complicated and delicate than fighting,' said onegeneral. 'They have a higher crime rate, a venereal disease rate several times thatof the white soldier, and a worse record for mischief in general. . . Frankly, theworst problem comes from our colored troops going with white German girls.This stirs bitter hatred among German men. Many of our own soldiers feel almostas strongly about it.'"[12]That the German women do not accept advances from American troops out ofchoice but rather out of sternest necessity is shown by the close connectionbetween the venereal disease rate and availability of food. As one correspondentwrites:"Statistics show that the venereal rate is related to the food supply of the Germancivilians during our occupation. After the winter's supply of potatoes was issuedto the Germans last fall, there was a drop in the number of soldiers infected. Asfrauleins became more hungry, more soldiers were infected. Ration cuts lastspring also were reflected in higher venereal figures."[13]The German press broke its long silence on the subject of venereal contaminationin a front page editorial in the NEUE ZEIT, a Soviet licensed Berlin newspaper.The author, a young woman editor named Renate Lengnick, whose husband hadnot returned from the American zone of occupation, where he was a prisoner ofwar, struck at the collapse in moral foundations for sex relations: She wrote:"There are husbands and sweethearts who have not yet returned. Many never willreturn. There are girls who will never have husbands. There is unemployment.Apprenticeships are empty promises. There is little to inspire hope."Thirty-five per cent of the civilian venereal disease victims are girls under 20.For most of them it was desperation that turned them to sex indulgence. Theyneeded food, clothing, and shelter. Most important of what they lacked was hopefor a normal, decent life."Doctors and police must continue their campaign of eradication withoutabatement. We must also rescue the spirit as well as the bodies of youth fromdemoralization."[14]The main difference between American and Russian methods of ravishing theunconditionally surrendered women of Germany is the American capitalistic, freeeconomy touch. THE CHRISTIAN CENTURY, for Decernber 5, 1945, reports:"The American provost marshal, Lieutenant Colonel Gerald F. Beane, said thatrape represents no problem to the military police because 'a bit of food, a bar ofchocolate, or a bar of soap seems to make rape unnecessary.' Think that over ifyou want to understand what the situation is in Germany."Dr. George N. Schuster, President of Hunter College, charged, after a visit to theAmerican zone:"You have said it all when you say that Europe is now a place where woman haslost her perennial fight for decency because the indecent alone live.""Except for those who can establish contacts with members of the armed forces,Germans can get nothing from soap to shoes."[15]L.F. Filewood, writing in the WEEKLY REVIEW, London, Oct. 5, 1945, stated:"Young girls, unattached, wander about and freely offer themselves, for food orbed . . . Very simply they have one thing left to sell, and they sell it . . . As a way ofdying it may be worse than starvation, but it will put off dying for months - oreven years."[16]Significantly, the Potsdam Declaration declares:"The Allied armies are in occupation of the whole of Germany and the Germanpeople have begun to atone for the terrible crimes committed under theleadership of those whom in the hour of their success, they openly approved andblindly obeyed."It fails to declare that the crimes to be committed by the Allied armies ofoccupation would eclipse those of which the Nazi armies have been accused. Nowthat the war is over and the heat of combat has died down enough to enable us toview the cold facts again, it must be brought home to the Arnerican people thatmuch of what they have been led to believe was born of propaganda, that theGerman army, for example, actually behaved itself very correctly toward thepeople of occupied territories whose governments were signatories of the Hagueand Geneva Conventions. The facts are now well known, and are beyond dispute,despite the opposite picture previously painted in the press as part of thehorrendous business of war.William L. Shirer, in his Berlin Diary (p. 412), on June 17, 1940, in the first flushof German occupation, described how many French women had fled Paris forfear of what the German armies might do to them."It seems," he wrote, "the Parisians actually believe the Germans would rape thewomen and do worse to the men . . . The ones who stayed are all the moreamazed at the very correct behavior of the troops - so far."And their behavior never changed.Frederick C. Crawford, President of Thompson Products, after a tour ofinspection in which he, with others of the War Department, visited areas wherethe Germans had been in occupation for four years, in his "REPORT FROM THEWAR FRONT", said:"The Germans tried to be careful in their dealings with the people . . . We weretold that if a citizen attended strictly to business and took no political orunderground action against the occupying army, he was treated withcorrectness."[17]

6 THE PEOPLE HUNGERIn view of all that has happened in Germany, it is small wonder that the peoplehave been overtaken by extreme shortages of basic necessities, especially food.Months after the war had ended and the conquerors had assumed completecontrol of the German government and therefore responsibility for the Germanpeople and their future, the Bishop of Chichester, quoting a noted Germanpastor, said:"Thousands of bodies are hanging in the trees in the woods around Berlin andnobody bothers to cut them down. Thousands of corpses are carried into the seaby the Oder and Elbe Rivers - one doesn't notice it any longer. Thousands andthousands are starving in the highways. . . Children roam the highways alone,their parents shot, dead, lost."[1]A wireless to the New York Times in April, 1946, says:"Like Russia's half-wild vagabonds after World War I, Germany's youth is on theroad . . . because there was not enough to eat at home. Homeless, without papersor ration cards . . . these groups rob Germans and displaced persons. They are . . .wandering aimlessly, disillusioned, dissolute, diseased, and withoutguidance."[2]Despite conditions, the German people are putting up a brave struggle forexistence. After a five-week tour of Europe, including Germany, Malcolm Muir,publisher of BUSINESS WEEK, told the Union League Club of Chicago:"The Germans are making every effort to help themselves . . . It is not unusual tosee a milk cow hitched to a plow, a woman leading the cow and a small boyguiding the plow."[3]What harvesting machinery remains is mostly small, old fashioned and rundown, often useless for want of parts. Draught work is supplied by animals andmen. Oxen are used where available, and a horse and cow hitched together arecommon. It is not unusual to see a wagon of straw moving along a road with oneor two old men at the tongue and a flock of women and children pushing. Oneobserver writes:"The plight of the Germans is epitomized by scenes in the stubble fields, whichare thoroughly gleaned by the owners. Villagers, old men, women and children,may be seen picking up one grain at a time from the ground to be carried home ina sack the size of a housewife's shopping bag."[4]Crop yields have been reduced by the five year fertilizer famine, which continuesand the fact, as mentioned before, that the soil for the most part has been workedfor 1,000 to 2,000 years.Food reserves which were ample when the war ended were soon depleted, thanksin part to deliberate destruction by invading armies, and, in the case of theRussians and French, to armies of occupation living off the land. When we firstinvaded Normandy we were surprised by the large stores of food we found. It wasthe same elsewhere. Although his statement contrasted sharply with the currentpropaganda which had all Europe starving, Prof. Theodore Shultz of theUniversity of Chicago, in November, 1943, had said that continental Europe thatyear had harvested good crops, that "farm production had been so wellmaintained despite the war that Europe will meet 90 to 95 per cent of her foodrequirements in the year after peace is declared."[5] Although distribution wasdisrupted at the end of the war, aggregate food stocks were large. But underAllied management they were soon dissipated.The situation, worsened by the loss of the eastern "bread basket" and the largenumber of displaced persons and evacuees from the east, became critical andthen catastrophic.For six months our military govemment refused to supply any food from theoutside to supplement the vanishing German stocks; however, the terribleconsequences of this policy ultimately got under the tough hides of theoccupation authorities to such an extent that by December they appealed to theU.S. Government to send sufficient food to prevent universal starvation. Reliefwas finally promised, and after many heartbreaking delays, a dribble arrived.The intensity of the famine through which Germany is passing can be guaged bycomparing the German diet with our own and with what experiments prove to bethe minimum to maintain life.An average slice of bread yields around 200 calories. The average American dietis 3,000 calories per person per day. To maintain weight and health, alumberjack needs as much as 7,600 calories, an active woman at least 3,000.[6]Herbert Hoover, famed for his work in famine relief, says that 2,200 calories "is aminimum in a nation for healthy human beings."[7]Various studies have been made to determine the effects of subnormal diets andthe limits of starvation. The University of Minnesota conducted a test during thewar in which a group of conscentious objectors voluntarily lived for severalmonths on a daily diet of 1,650 calories. Within six months each man lost a fourthof his weight and experienced fainting spells, dizziness, and a feeling of alwaysbeing cold. Their hearts shrank and some had to have two blankets even insummer. All lost three-fourths of their energy and work ability. "Each individualgradually tended to withdraw to himself, to shun social companionship . . . Themain interest in life became the next meal."[8]Northwestern University Medical School conducted a similar experiment withsimilar effects. A diet with protein and vitamin contents 40 per cent and 25 percent of normal, respectively, was tried with results which in the words of Dr.Andrew C. Ivy, "hold out a dismal prospect for the people of food-restrictedcountries." He said little change was noted in the patients during the first monthand a half; "after six weeks, however, they showed a slow, progressivedeterioration in physical and mental health, accompanied by loss of endurance,skin lesions, leg pains, and mental slowness." It was difficult to get the subjectsback to normal: "the time of recovery was in no case less than a month."[9]In response to a question on the subject of minimum diets, the National ResearchCouncil states:"The best evidence available to the Board would indicate that adult Europeanmales reduced to an intake on the average of 1,400 to 1,700 calories for a periodof six months will suffer: 1) Reduction of capacity for work (endurance) to thepoint where only very light work can be performed effectively, moderate heavywork, and heavy work not at all. 2) Loss of power of mental concentrationassociated with apathy, depression, and a high level of irritability. 3) Increasedsusceptibility to infections and contagious diseases . . . The ability of a populationto maintain or increase its own community production of food, not to speak ofother goods, would be diminished. In the second place, there would be less hopeof establishing acceptable community political organization. In the third place, apopulation subjected to such a low level of food supply might be expected todevelop epidemics which might spread to other nations and consequentlyrepresent a hazard to the entire world."[10]These facts prove the excruciating character of the rations imposed upon theGerman populace by the conquerors. In the American zone where the level hasbeen consistently higher than in other zones the base ration since V-E Day hasranged between a high of 1,550 to a low of 1,180 calories per person per diem.Here is the record: before November 11, 1945, 1,262 calories; from that datethrough the following March, 1,550 calories; from April 1, 1946, through most ofthe following May, 1,275 calories; from then on through most of the summer,1,180 calories. In August, 1946, it was raised to 1,350 calories, and in the fall wasrestored to 1,550 calories where it was supposed to remain during the winter of1946-47.Herbert Hoover in April, 1946, in commenting on the European situation ingeneral called the 1,550 calorie level a "grim and dangerous base" and said: "Atthis level we believe most of the adults can come through the short period of fourmonths until the next harvest. The children's health will become suceptible todisease. Many of the children and aged will fall by the wayside."[11] Theconsequences of keeping the base German rations at or below the 1,500 calorielevel since V-E Day are not difficult to imagine. Although some of the Germanworkers, such as farmers and miners, are allowed somewhat higher rations, thebase ration applies to the great majority, including housewives and children.Such reports as the following made by an official of the food branch of theAmerican Military Government should therefore cause no surprise.[12]"The greatest famine catastrophe of recent centuries is upon us in central Europe.Our Government is letting down our military government in the food deliveries itpromised, although what Generals Clay, Draper, and Hester asked for and werepromised was the barest minimum for survival of the people. We will be forced toreduce the rations from 1,550 calories to 1,000 or less calories."The few buds of democracy will be burned out in the agony of death of the aged,the women, and the children."The British and we are going on record as the ones who let the Germans starve.The Russians will release at the height of the famine substantial food stores theyhave locked up (300,000 to 400,000 tons of sugar, large quantities of potatoes)."Aside from the inhumanity involved, it is so criminally stupid to give such aperformance of incredible fumbling before the eyes of the world. It makes all themany hard-working officers of the Office of Military Government, Food andAgricultural Branch, ashamed.Karl BrandtBerlin, Germany, March 18, 1946."The following is taken from a report prepared by the German CentralAdministration for Health, a German agency created by the Russian occupationauthorities:"The people hunger. They hold only the immediate present responsible for theircondition. They are without the energy to trace the links of causes. They haveeven forgotten Hitler. Beyond the immediate present their power to reproduceeven memory does not reach. There is growing as though by psychologicalcompulsion, a mass hysteria, with a thousand different symptoms of drugaddiction, drunkenness, perversities, sadism, murder and infantilism. . . Thesituation is reaching a generally psychopathological state, through chronichunger. We are seeing aberrations such as were previously known only amongstranded and starving sailors in lifeboats, or thirsting persons forgotten bycaravans in desert sands. It is increasingly impossible to discover in the masses ofthe people opinions. They have only animal urges."The explanation of this mass phenomenon, this mental and spiritual paralysis, isphysical. They are emaciated to the bone. Their clothes hang loose on theirbodies, the lower extremities are like the bones of a skeleton, their hands shake asthough with palsy, the muscles of the arms are withered, the skin lies in folds,and is without elasticity, the joints spring out as though broken."The weight of the women of average height and build has fallen way below 110pounds. Often women of child-bearing age weigh no more than 65 pounds. Thenumber of still-born children is approaching the number of those born alive, andan increasing proportion of these die in a few days. Even if they come into theworld of normal weight, they start immediately to lose weight and die shortly.Very often the mothers cannot stand the loss of blood in childbirth and perish.Infant mortality has reached the horrifying height of 90 per cent."[13]The following dispatch from Wiesbaden, Germany, portrays the lot which hasbefallen the children:"Those fat, round cheeked, chubby-legged German children so well known inpicture and story - remember them?"They're of another era. You do not see them now."I sat with a mother, watching her eight-year-old daughter playing with a doll andcarriage, her only playthings. Then she came to supper - hard brown bread, threeslim slices of pressed sausage, a cup of coffee substitute. Her legs were tiny, thejoints protruding. Her arms had no flesh. Her skin drawn taut across the bones,the eyes dark, deep-set and tired."'She doesn't look well,' I said."'Six years of war,' the mother replied, in that quiet toneless manner so commonhere now. 'She hasn't had a chance. None of the children have. Her teeth are notgood. She catches illness so easily."'She laughs and plays - yes; but soon she is tired. She never has known' - and themother's eyes filled with tears - 'what it is not to be hungry.' "'Was it this badduring the war?' I asked."'Not this bad,' she replied, 'but not good at all. And now I am told the breadration is to be less. What are we to do; all of us?"'For six years we suffered. We love our country. My husband was killed - hissecond war. My oldest son is a prisoner somewhere in France. My other boy lost aleg. That's what the Nazis did for us. And now . . .'"By this time she was weeping. I gave this little girl a Hershey bar and she wept -pure joy - as she held it. By this time I wasn't feeling too chipper myself. . . But itgives you an idea."[14]Dr. Lawrence Meyer, Executive Secretary of the Lutheran Church, MissouriSynod, after returning from Germany said on January 13, 1946:"Germany literally swarms with children. Eight children per family is nothingextraordinary. Millions of these children must die before there is enough food. InFrankfurt at a children's hospital there have been set aside 25 out of 100 children.These will be fed and kept alive. It is better to feed 25 enough to keep them aliveand let 75 starve then to feed the 100 for a short while and let them allstarve."[15]Dorothy Thompson reported:"In Berlin, in August, 1945, out of 2,866 children born, 1,148 died, and it wassummer, and the food more plentiful than now . . . From Vienna a reliable sourcereports that . . . infant mortality is approaching 100 per cent."[16]Edd Johnson of P.M., on October 3, 1945, wrote from Germany:"The infant mortality rate is 16 times as high today as in 1943 . . . There is goingto be a definite age group elimination. Most children under 10 and people over 60cannot survive the coming winter."[17]A United States Press dispach from Berlin, February 8, 1946, reads:"Official announcement that two German women bad been murdered and theirflesh sold on a food black market aroused fear today that organized gangs ofhuman butchers were at work here. Spokesmen for the criminal investigationdepartment of the German police said only two cases of murder-for-flesh badbeen established but that it was possible that butchers were operating on a muchlarger scale, killing their victims and peddling their flesh in local blackmarkets."[18]Hal Foust wrote from Berlin, February 20, 1946:"Germans are dying in masses, not so much from starvation alone as fromillnesses aggravated by acute malnutrition."[19]A United Press dispatch from Hamburg, Germany, March 22, 1946, reads:"33 workmen collapsed from hunger today - the first signs of starvation wereapparent in this area - with hostility rising among the Hamburg working classes,and food riots continued in Hamburg for the fourth straight day."[20]Dorothy Thompson wrote:"The children of Europe are starving. Six years of war, indescribable destruction,and the lunatic policies which have added to the disintegration inherited from thecollapse of the Nazi regime have done their work. Germany, and with it Europe, isskidding into the abyss."The facts are at last being revealed through what has amounted to a conspiracyof silence here . . . This war was fought by the West in the name of Christiancivilization, the Four Freedoms, and the dignity of man against those who wereperpetrating crimes against humanity. But policies which must inevitably resultin the postwar extermination of tens of thousands of children are also "crimesagainst humanity."[21]General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower in November, 1945, solemnly warnedthat if our military victory is to have lasting significance, the United States andother nations must "assist the war devastated countries back on their feet" andadded:"If this bitter situation is not to become so disastrous as to make me wonder if itwas worthwhile to have taken up arms against the Nazis, we in the United States -which is truly the land of plenty as compared to Europe - must be prepared todischarge a heavy responsibility."[22]After giving Herbert Hoover, serving as Chairman of President Truman's FamineInvestigating Commission, a grim report of Germany's food situation on April 13,1946, Generals Joseph T. McNarney and Lucius Clay said in a formal statement:"Political stabilty cannot develop under conditions which create political apathy.Political apathy can be overcome in a population which must devote its full effortto the daily search for food. Political stability in Germany is closely related topolitical stability in the rest of Europe."German transport facilities are required to move relief supplies and exportsacross Europe. German workmen must be used to man available transportfacilities."German coal is vital to Europe. German potash, salt, lumber, spare parts, andother products are needed throughout Europe. Coal production in the Ruhr hasdeclined substantially since the recent food cut. Without food Germany cannotproduce coal. Without coal Germany cannot produce fertilizer and unless itproduces fertilizer it cannot improve its food supply."[23]The statement went on to point out that the American zone even in normal timeshad been a deficit area with regard to food, requiring 2,000,000 tons of importsin 1943-44. It said that the German economic pump must be primed with foodimports, because the American zone and other western areas cannot produceenough to sustain life even at starvation levels.Ten months after V-E Day, only 600,000 tons of food had been imported into ourzone by AMG, or about one ounce per person per meal. Yet AMG officers askedGI's to remind the Germans they owe America a debt of gratitude for feedingthem.[24]

Evidence that the German Famine is DeliberateSenator Homer E. Capehart of Indiana in an address before the United StatesSenate February 5, 1946, said in part:"The fact can no longer be suppressed, namely, the fact that it has been andcontinues to be, the deliberate policy of a confidential and conspirational cliquewithin the policy-making circes of this government to draw and quarter a nationnow reduced to abject misery ."In this process this clique, like a pack of hyenas struggling over the bloodyentrails of a corpse, and inspired by a sadistic and fanatical hatred, aredetermined to destroy the German nation and the German people, no matterwhat the consequences."At Potsdam the representatives of the United States, the United Kingdom, andthe Union of Soviet Socialist Republics solemnly signed the following declarationof principles and purposes:"'It is not the intention of the Allies to destroy or enslave the German people.'"Mr. President, the cynical and savage repudiation of these solemn declarationswhich has resulted in a major catastrophe, cannot be explained in terms ofignorance or incompetence. This repudiation, not only of the PotsdamDeclaration, but also of every law of God and men, has been deliberatelyengineered with such a malevolent cunning, and with such diabolical skill, thatthe American people themselves have been caught in an international death trap."For nine months now this administration has been carrying on a deliberatepolicy of mass starvation without any distinction between the innocent and thehelpless and the guilty alike."The first issue has been and continues to be purely humanitarian. This viciousclique within this administration that has been responsible for the policies andpractices which have made a madhouse of central Europe has not only betrayedour American principles, but they have betrayed the GI's who have suffered anddied, and they continue to betray the American GI's who have to continue theirdirty work for them."The second issue that is involved is the effect this tragedy in Germany hasalready had on the other European countries. Those who have been responsiblefor this deliberate destruction of the German state and this criminal massstarvation of the German people have been so zealous in their hatred that allother interests and concerns have been subordinated to this one obsession ofrevenge. In order to accomplish this it mattered not if the liberated countries inEurope suffered and starved. To this point this clique of conspirators haveaddressed themselves: 'Germany is to be destroyed. What happens to othercountries of Europe in the process is of secondary importance.'"These remarks were interspersed with a mass of supporting evidence.There can be no question that there has been a deliberate attempt to keep thefacts from the American public. Senator Eastland of Mississippi, for example, in astirring address to the United States Senate December 3, 1945, exposing thechaotic conditions in Germany, told of the great difficulty he had encountered ingaining access to the official report on conditions in the Reich made by CalvinHoover. He said the State Department at first refused to furnish him a copy of thereport, but that through the intercession of a high official in the department hehad been able to obtain it, but only "with the understanding and the promisereceived from me first that the information therein would be made available tothe people of this country." Senator Eastland continued:"There appears to be a conspiracy of silence to conceal from our people the truepicture of conditions in Europe, to secrete from us the fact regarding conditionsof the continent and information as to our policies toward the German people . . .Are the real facts withheld because our policies are so cruel that the Americanpeople would not endorse them?"What have we to hide, Mr. President? Why should these facts be withheld fromthe people of the United States? There cannot possibly be any valid reason forsecrecy. Are we following a policy of vindictive hatred, a policy which would notbe endorsed by the American people as a whole if they knew true conditions?"Mr. President, I should be less than honest if I did not state frankly that thepicture is so much worse, so much more confused, than the American peoplesuspect, that I do not know of any source that is capable of producing thecomplete factual account of the true situation into which our policies have takenthe Ameriean people. The truth is that the nations of central, southern, andeastern Europe are adrift on a flood of anarchy and chaos."[25]Victor Gollancz, influential left-wing British publisher and pamphleteer, in hisbook "Leaving Them to Their Fate - the Ethics of Starvation," after marshallingvoluminous proof explains the starvation in these words:"The plain fact is when Spring is in the English air we are starving the Germanpeople, and we are starving them not deliberately in the sense we prefer theirdeath to our own inconvenience."Others, including ourselves, are to keep or be given comforts while the Germanslack the bare necessities of existence. If it is a choice between discomfort foranother and suffering for the German, the German must suffer; if betweensuffering for another and death for the German, the German must die."He describes the ample British diet and stocks of food while the Germans starveand says:"Stocks of food and feeding stuffs in this country owned and controlled by theminister of food, exclusive of stocks on farms or held by secondary wholesalersand manufacturers, were estimated to total on the last day of March no less than4,000,000 tons."He rejects the thesis that we should starve the Germans because they would havestarved us had they won, on the ground that those who reason as the Nazis are nobetter than the Nazis. He could have added that starvation of children of anenemy country is to admit having enemy children. One leading daily thinks Mr.Gollancz fails to plumb the depths of the infamy:"On the contrary it [the starvation] is the product of foresight. It was deliberatelyplanned at Yalta by Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill, and the program in all itsbrutality was later confirmed by Truman, Attlee, and Stalin . . . The intent tostarve the German people to death is being carried out with a remorselessnessunknown in the western world since the Mongol conquest."[26]Ample food stocks nearer to Germany even than those in England existed whilethe Germans starved. On the same page of a newspaper in the autumn of 1945two articles appeared under the following headlines:(1) "WEST GERMANS FACE HARD FIGHT AGAINST FAMINE"(2) "COME AND GET IT, DENMARK TELLS HUNGRY EUROPE"The article under the latter reads:"The exhausted Danish farming industry succeeded in increasing pigs to nearlytwo million, 60 per cent of the prewar stock, and last week 45,000 live cattle wereoffered to slaughtering, of which 32,000 had to be refused as the warehouses arefilled to capacity and no shipping was available."Denmark has, in vain, drawn the attention of Britain, the United States, andUNRRA to the facts, at the same time forwarding proposals, but no reply hasbeen received so far."The huge cold storage facilities in north Germany are not being utilized, andrefrigerator ships are lying idle in north German harbors. At the same timeslaughtering houses are forced to return live cattle to farmers, the cattle nowconsuming fodder that otherwise would be available to further increaseproduction, as a result of the failure of distribution machinery."Denmark would welcome it if public opinion would induce the united shippingpool, UNRRA and other concerned agencies to overcome difficulties and supplyshipping essential to emptying 'Europe's bursting larder.'"[27]An Associated Press dispatch from Copenhagen a month earlier had told thesame story:"While the rest of Europe hungers for meat, Denmark has 3,000 to 4,000 tons ofsurplus beef weekly which cannot be exported for lack of shipping space.Hoegsbro Holm, permanent secretary of the agricultural council of Denmark,said today that for the last six weeks farmers have had as many as 16,000 head ofcattle ready for slaughter, but Denmark has been able to use and export only10,000. Holm said, 'We have been trying to get transport for at least two monthsbut to date nothing is ready to take the meat.'"[28]Another report, by Robert Conway of the New York News, written March 22,1946, from Rome, under the headline: "FINDS EUROPEAN 'SHORTAGES' AREEXAGGERATION reads:"Coincident with the arrival of former President Hoover on his food mission, it istimely and vital that the American public should receive the simple factsregarding the grossly exaggerated talk of shortages in Europe."England is not starving, although food is short. France is better off thanEngland, and Italy is better off than France. The rich and the racketeers areeating sumptuously in London, Paris, and Rome, and the poor in Italy haverations equivalent to the diet enjoyed in 1937 at the peak of Mussolini'sprosperity era."England is the only one of the three countries which is making an honest,serious effort to ration food and clothing and control prices. France is doingbetter than Italy, but the black market in Paris is flourishing in all lines of goods.Italy is exploiting everything in a fantastic black market based on the contempt ofthe majority of the nation for the ignorance of Allied - chiefly American - officersof language, customs, and the traditional system of bartering and begging."In addition, some officers are flagrantly cooperating in the various rackets.""I found it possible to eat well and cheaply in London, Canterbury, and otherEnglish towns. I found a similar situation in Paris and its environs. Then I cameto Italy which is a veritable land of plenty, although in all three countries blackmarket restaurants supplied steaks, eggs, fruits and other delicacies at pricesequivalent to those of restaurants in New York."The task of ferreting out the truth of the food and economic situation is adifficult one, and unless a better and more experienced personnel is supplied forthe purpose than is evident in the permanent allied administration here, adistorted and inadequate picture will be given to Mr. Hoover."[29]That the general European famine advertised by Washington is for the most partGerman, as reported by Senator Butler of Nebraska after a trip through 33countries, is indicated by the fact that UNRRA has been used "to financegovernments and not to feed the hungry." UNRRA has in effect supported thesegovernments, mostly satellites of the Soviet Union, by supplying them withbillions of dollars worth of goods which they, in turn, have sold to those with themoney to buy, thus bringing to themselves handsome revenues in lieu oftaxes.[30] In Germany, where there is widespread hunger and poverty, UNRRA isspecifically forbidden to function for the benefit of any but "displaced persons,"and then only by making requisitions against the starving Germans.[31] InAugust, 1946, Cyril Osborn, M.P., denounced the so-called relief agency of theUnited Nations as "the biggest racket in Europe."For another thing, no Central Red Cross has been permitted to function in thestricken Reich. And it is now a matter of history that the Washingtonadministration for nearly a year hotly resisted all efforts to bring private relief tothe Germans, and only permitted a miserable dribble when it finally did allow it,at the urgent request of AMG officials. It placed the limit at 2,000 tons a month,limiting packages to 11 pounds and 72 inches in girth, with shipping charges of 14cents a pound.Senator Albert W. Hawkes, of New Jersey had made a strong appeal to thePresident urging that private relief packages be permitted to prevent massstarvation of the German people. In his reply, dated December 21, 1945,President Truman professed that "there is as yet no possibility of makingdeliveries of individual packages in Germany," because "the postal system andthe communications and transportation systems of Germany are in the state oftotal collapse." He then said:"Our efforts have been directed particularly toward taking care of those whofought with us rather than against us - Norwegians, Belgians, the Dutch, theGreeks, the Poles, the French. Eventually the enemy countries will be given someattention."While we have no desire to be unduly cruel to Germany, I cannot feel any greatsympathy for those who caused the death of so many human beings by starvation,disease, and outright murder, in addition to all the destruction and death of war.Perhaps eventually a decent government can be established in Germany so thatGermany can again take its place in the family of nations. I think that in themeantime no one should be called upon to pay for Germany's misfortune exceptGermany itself."Until the misfortunes of those whom Germany oppressed and tortured areoblivated [sic], it does not seem right to divert our efforts to Germany itself. Iadmit that there are, off course, many innocent people in Germany who hadlittle to do with the Nazi terror. However, the administrative burden of trying tolocate these people and treat them differently for the rest is one which is almostinsuperable." (emphasis added)[32]This letter makes perfectly clear that we are deliberately discriminating against"the Germans," that Mr. Truman expeeted to be at least a little cruel in histreatment of them, and that he had not the slightest consciousness of the Germanchildren, as such, and the agonies they must suffer, although they surely "hadlittle to do with Nazi terror" and certainly could be as easily located as Nazis andwar criminals. It is difficult, indeed, to see how those responsible for our policycan escape condemnation under the following principles laid down by GeneralEisenhower:"While I and my subordinates believe that stern justice should be meted out towar criminals by proper legal procedure, we would never condone inhuman orun-American practices upon the helpless, which is one of the crimes for whichthose war criminals must now stand trial."[33]Michael Foote, M.P., in discussing this question reminded the House ofCommons that there is an older law than any promulgated at Potsdam for theprotection of victims or our policy:"But who shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were betterfor him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and that he were drowned inthe depth of the sea."[34]It later came out that Russian objection in the Control Council was at least partlyresponsible for our inability to send private relief packages to Germany. FourSenators, after being rebuffed at the White House in their request that the mailsbe opened to permit relief packages to Germany, learned that permission to do somust meet with unanimous consent of all four occupying powers and that theSoviet Union had opposed the idea. The four gave out this information in astatement which said in part:"The American people should know once and for all that as a result of thisgovernment's official policy they are being made the unwilling accomplices in thecrime of mass starvation. How long must we expect Mr. Stalin to deny theAmerican people the opportunity to express their native humanitarianism anddesires?"[35]Russia's inhuman truculence was referred to indirectly by General McNarney in aletter to Senator Wiley (February 14, 1946). He explained:"United States citizens have not been permitted to send individual gift supplies toGerman nationals, as the establishment of international postal service, whileunder study, is yet to be effected."Once such agreement has been reached, the distribution of packages within theUnited States zone can be reasonably well met by the parcel post service whichhas now been reinstalled within Germany." (emphasis added)[36]In other words, the difficulty was a question of agreement, rather than lack offacilities.In close harmony with Russia's inhuman attitude, which had an ulterior purposeas part of a larger program, as we shall see, the "liberal" press has for the mostpart greeted with silence or derision all efforts to publicize the facts concerningGerman prostration and to bring relief to the suffering German masses. EleanorRoosevelt, Senator Connelly, and the late Sidney Hillman, backed by personagesin AMG, upon visiting Germany professed to see no evidence of starvation orsuffering beyond what they considered tolerable. The New Republic expressed itshorror over the possibility that Senator Wherry, who had agitated for a Senateinvestigation of conditions in Europe, including Germany, might become moreinfluential. In the New Republic's own words, this was his crime: "His presentefforts are devoted to getting more food for Germany and Austria."In commenting on the New Republic attitude and PM's professed liberalism,William Henry Chamberlain, in his excellent article "The Crisis of Liberalism,"which was entered in the Congressional Record, says:"So it becomes a crime, in the eyes of a liberal magazine, to try to ward off what isat best acute malnutrition, at worse starvation. As to PM, with its loudlyprofessed code of humanitarian ethics, it gives a daily exhibition, in its attitudetoward relief for central Europe, of nazism in reverse, of a positively sadisticdesire to inflict maximum suffering on all Germans, irrespective of theirresponsibility for Nazi crimes."[37]"Liberals" have, however, indulged in some relief activities. Here is one case, asreported by correspondent Philip Warden:"Washington, D.C., June 6 (1946) - The emergency food collection committeeheaded by Henry A. Wallace, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, and Herbert Lehman, hascollected $323,000 in cash and is incurring an estimated $300,000 inadministrative expenses, Chairman Wallace reported to the Senate SmallBusiness' Committee today."Wallace listed among the 'estimated cash requirements' for the two monthcampaign which is expected to wind up by July 1, $75,000 in salaries, $45,000 intravel and subsistence claims, $115,000 for publicity, materials, and stationery,$28,000 for communications, and $20,000 in state and metropolitanorganizational expenses."[38]

7 ECONOMIC TRIBULATIONIt is inconsistent to show solicitude for the welfare of Germany or the Germanpeople and at the same time to support the Potsdam agreements, because, as wehave seen, the latter were intended not to help Germany recover but rather toprevent her from doing so. Potsdam was based on the Morgenthau Plan and theMorgenthau Plan had stipulated:"The sole purpose of the military in control of the German economy shall be tofacilitate military operations and military occupation. The Allied MilitaryGovernment shall not assume responsibility for such economic problems as pricecontrols, rationing, unemployment, production, reconstruction, distribution,consumption, housing, or transportation, or take any measures designed tomaintain or strengthen the German economy, except those which are essentialto military operations. The responsibility for sustaining the German economy andpeople rests with the German people with such facilities as may be availableunder the circumstances. "(emphasis added)"Under the circumstances" must be underscored as meaning an absence ofessential facilities. The territorial losses and seizures; the program of overcrowdingthrough expulsions of millions of eastern Germans; the wholesaleenslavement of German manpower; the liquidation of German science andmanagerial, technical, and professional classes through de-nazification; thesettling of the low level of industry decided upon, coupled with the industrialsacking and elimination of all German external resources - all these measures ontop of the war devastation cannot be described as anything but a program tothrow Germany and her people into a state of collapse.But these are not the only acts of repression. Taxes have been raised toconfiscatory levels which stifle incentives and prevent operation of the freeenterprise system. They have helped to socialize German economy and kill theprofit motive. They have corrupted public morals for even the poor must contriveto dodge them in order to have enough income to buy shoes.[1] We have refusedto establish an exchange value for the German mark in terms of other currencies,preventing privately handled imports and exports and throwing what littleexternal trade there is into the hands of the military government. And instead oftrying to work out some intelligent plan for the resuscitation of the collapsedfinancial system we have proceeded to make matters far worse by such actions asthe printing of vast sums of occupation currency which will almost certainly helpcreate the 1923 inflation disaster and complete the destruction of the Germanmiddle class.[2] Such a result would serve the ends of Soviet Russia, but hardlythose of the other powers.Economic ProstrationIt is difficult to imagine the depth of German depression. When the United Statesreached the bottom of 1932, industrial production had fallen to 60 per cent ofnormal. The depression was so severe - the losses so enormous, theunemployment so widespread - that it almost brought a revolution.Industrial production in Germany a year after V-E Day was 10 per cent of whatused to be normal.Production in our zone has gradually risen until it reached a high of about 12 percent of the old normal, or about 20 per cent of the new permitted levels. With thecut in rations, however, the index began a steady decline.[3] On May 4, Brig. Gen.William H. Draper, AMG director of economics, reported that output in our zonewas "far below that necessary to maintain the minimum standard of living." Thereport went on to give production figures for individual industries as percentagesof capacity. Here are a few samples: chemicals 25 per cent; electric power 20 percent; building materials 20 per cent; steel products 13 per cent; ceramics 5 percent; farm machinery 22 per cent; electrical equipment 15 per cent; automotiveand industrial machinery 10 per cent.[4] The following summer it was reportedthat less than 30 per cent of available industry in our zone was in operation.[5]Deputy Military Governor Clay at the end of August declared that it will take atleast four more years for Germany to recover sufficiently to bring production upto the bare subsistence levels set under the deindustrialization program.[6]War destruction plus the Allied program of repression have created thoroughdisorganization. Of the plants not bombed out completely, many were obsolete,others located in areas where residential destruction was so complete that therewas no room for workers, or where available transportation and communicationscould serve only a fraction of production.[7] Freight carrying has been slow andunreliable, able to meet only 70 per cent of the low demand. Passenger service iscovering only 30 per cent of German requirements. Cars are jammed andpassengers even hang on the sides and tops. Railroad shortages lie in rollingstock, ships, manpower, coal, and result in part from bottlenecks and theinevitable inefficiency of military control.[8]Low coal production has been a key problem resulting in part from lack of civiliangoods available to miners and their families. The AMG official in charge said inJuly, 1946, that the miners must be fed better and treated better in other ways toget improved output. "We are going to have to provide decent housing and we aregoing to have to make consumer goods available, as an incentive for the miners todig. At present they cannot even buy needle and thread with which to patch theirpants . . . There is no slowdown conspiracy nor underground political sabotage bythe workers, it is just that they have not enough incentive to work."[9]A high ranking British officer a few days earlier had admitted that anti-Britishsentiment is growing in the Ruhr. He said: "The Germans are just beginning toappreciate the economic hardships imposed upon them by allied policy. It isnatural there should be a stiffening of the German attitude toward this policy,and that the British should receive the brunt of this stiffening since thereparation program takes more from the British zone than from other parts ofGermany." He pointed out that the miners lack incentive due to the absence offood and other necessities and added: "In a vicious economic cycle we do nothave consumer goods because manufacturing plants lack the coal to make them.Therefore we must have more coal for production."[10]Bottlenecks and shortages permeate the whole German economy as the inevitableconsequence of war destruction and the production prohibitions enforced underthe level of industry plan. In July, 1946, for example, it was reported that themetal shortage had halted the production of plows, while the supply ofhorseshoes and nails was about exhausted. The number of motor trucks in Berlin,with its 3,000,000 inhabitants and area five times that of Chicago, was down to8,000. Solder was not available even for mending pots and pans. Shoe cobblerswere using old portfolios, dice boxes, helmet liners, any piece of salvage leatherthey could find to repair shoes. Although 50,000 school children were out ofshoes, the supply of shoe nails was about exhausted. Because of lack ofpermanganate of potash, caused by dismantlement of I.G. Farben plants, themanufacture of saccharine, vitally needed on account of the sugar famine as wellas by diabetics, was threatened. Manufacture of adhesive tape, muslin, bandages,and surgical dressings was halted in Thuringia because cotton mills appropriatedby the Russians would not furnish raw materials. Cement production, sorelyneeded for reconstruction, was low because of dismantlements and shortage ofmachinery and tools.[11] Reports reveal that such industries as rug, fabric,cutlery, toy, and musical instrument factories, fortunate to have survived the war,lack fuel and raw materials.[12]Current German production has been far less than enough to supply currentminimum needs of the populace. For the first year, it was possible to draw onreserve supplies left over from pre-surrender days and spared in the looting anddestruction even of vast leftover food stores by the armies of the victors.[13] Butthese reserves were gradually exhausted, leaving a dark prospect for the future.Clothes wore out and could not be replaced, due to the virtual nonexistence oftextiles for civilian use. In consequence, as one report put it:"The best dressed frauleins in Berlin this spring will wear a combination ofwindow curtains and old bedclothes."[14]Desperation for money to buy food on the black markets to supplement thestarvation rations, has led the Germans to sell their assets, disposing first of whatthey need the least. Their rings have gone, then watches, bracelets, that other pairof shoes, dresses, jackets, suits. As one Berlin reporter put it:"Last winter there was no coal, and Berliners burned every tree in town and forseveral miles around. Cold is the most miserable of all living conditions, and aspeople get closer and closer to the primitive, it's natural that they look to thefuture. At first I was amazed to see girls walking down Berlin streets in summerclad in long coats of fox, or squirrel, or sheep. Then I realized. Remembering lastwinter; looking toward another winter without fuel - they've sold the clothingleast needed. And I'm not kidding when I say a lot of these frauleins are down totheir last fur coat."[15]Associated Press bulletin from Hereford, Germany, dated September 9, 1946reads:"The British officially informed Germans in their zone today they could expect nocoal for heating this winter."[16]A little later an arrangement was made for miners to work Sundays, so that theaverage family of four in the merged American and British zone could have fuelthis winter equivalent in heating value of a little over half a ton of hard coal for asix months period.[17] A month later the unions voted not to work on Sundays.In the face of this grim prospect, the best that could be hoped for in the way offood by the population living on the very edge of starvation, suffering fromfamine edema, swelling of joints, and all the other terrors of gradual starvation,as stated before, was an increase in rations to the "grim and dangerous" 1,500calorie level throughout the 1946-47 winter. In June, 1946, Col. H.B. Hester, incharge of the American military government food branch, predicted a disastrousfamine in Germany the next winter unless the ration level was raised byOctober.[18] His report followed another by Col. W.L. Wilson, chief of publichealth and welfare, that the condition of the conquered people was sinkingrapidly under the present ration.[19]In the French zone 5,000 have died weekly of starvation.[20] In mid-summer of1946, in Berlin, 19,000 very serious tuberculosis cases for whom no beds wereavailable were reported officially by American authorities. The Senate ofHamburg issued an appeal to England and the entire world to send food andmedicines to "avert terrible epidemics and mass deaths." Hamburg motormenand conductors were imperiling safety of public transport by "fainting fromhunger" and dropping at their posts from long undernourishment and weaknesswhile on duty. The Medical Council of Cologne informed the British militaryauthorities that the population there "is facing catastrophe" unless food wasquickly provided, adding that "resistance to infectious diseases, especiallytuberculosis, is vanishing." Authorities in the Rhineland sent an appeal fromDüsseldorf to the British military government to "close the murderous food gap,"in order to check rapidly spreading disease and epidemics caused by hunger." Amedical authority said:"Many thousands of men, women, and children, who, with what reserves instrength and vitality they still possessed, managed to live through the rigors, coldand hunger of last winter, will not survive this winter, after another year'sdepletion in their power of resistance to diseases fostered by starvation and semistarvation.Death's harvest indeed may be appalling."[21]With this frightful prospect it will behoove relief organizations to operate atmaximum capacity if millions of lives are to be saved.Economic DismembermentBig Four officials have laid all the blame for Germany's distress on the war andzonal separation. In their view Potsdam would afford the best possible solution toall difficulties if only zonal division could be corrected.German territory west of the Oder-Neisse line was divided into four zones to beoccupied and administered by the military forces of Russia, Great Britain, theUnited States, and France.Russia's zone, comprising the eastern half of Prussia west of the Oder-Neisseriver line is the best balanced of the four zones. In addition to containing some 45per cent of Germany's manufacturing during the war, it produced more thanenough food for its own consumption and mines brown coal and other minerals.Other sections of the Reich had been heavily dependent upon it for many key rawmaterials and manufactures. Stripped as it has been, it nevertheless suppliesRussia with a sizable flow of goods taken as reparation.Britain's zone comprises the western half of Prussia. Within it is the Ruhr Districtwhich contains the continent's most valuable natural resources, especially largedeposits of high grade coal close to Europe's best iron ores, and lies in the midstof Europe's densest concentration of population in a region served by excellentrail and water transportation. Molotov rightly called it "Europe's workshop."Despite intensive cultivation the zone suffers a heavy food deficit, and even coalproduction has been at a low ebb since V-E Day. Administration costs are 320million dollars a year above revenues.The American zone lies in the central and southern sections of the Reich. Most ofit is mountainous and largely scenic. It is not and cannot become self-sufficient infood production and is highly dependent upon various imports. It perfectlyillustrates the essential interdependence of all sections of German economy. Allof its hard coal requirements must be imported from the Ruhr or Saar regions,and 83 per cent of the steel required by its many manufacturing establishmentsmust come from the outside. Lack of coal has forced partial or total closing ofmany industries; for example, the pharmaceutical industry, which needs coal tar;the tire business, which needs buna made from coal; and various fabricating,processing and finishing establishments. Because of the steel shortage, the largesttin can manufacturer in Bavaria closed so that some 10 million tins badly neededto put up the 1946 crop of peas, beans, and fruit, were not made. Large numbersare unemployed and administration is costing the American taxpayers 200million dollars a year.France's zone consists mostly of provincial fragments of former Germanybordering on France and contains no complete political or economic entities. Itschief asset is the Saar Basin, rich in coal and steel. Although intensivelycultivated, the zone is not self-sufficient in food, because of heavy specializationin vineyards and orchards. It must import its potatoes from Bavaria, for example,and other zones rely upon its food specialties.One of the outstanding facts about Germany is the dependence of each section,and now each zone, upon all the others - for food, steel, coal, timber, and otheressentials. The peace settlements did not anticipate economic separation ofGermany's highly interdependent regions. Since the zones were set up strictly foradministrative purposes and were not supposed to exert any divisive influenceupon Germany economy, zonal boundary lines were laid out promiscuouslyacross political and economic subdivisions. The belief that the zones wouldremain one thing and German economy another is clearly shown in the earlystatements and declarations of policy.Potsdam directs that "during the period of occupation Germany shall be treatedas an economic unit," and an earlier Big Four statement on control machinery forGermany decrees that:"The Control Council, whose decisions shall be unanimous, will ensureappropriate uniformity of action by the Commanders in Chief in their respectivezones of occupation and will reach agreed decisions on the chief questionsaffecting Germany as a whole."This demand for results made impossible by the conditions laid downsimultaneously has been about as effective as commanding the sun to stand still.Insisted upon by Russia the requirement that Control Council decisions "shall beunanimous" has in practice barred "agreed decisions on the chief questionsaffecting Germany as a whole," and has brought anything but uniformity of zonalaction. It has killed Control Council effectiveness just as the veto power alsoinsisted upon by Russia has destroyed the effectiveness of the Security Council ofthe United Nations Organization.France has been particularly obstructive in Control Council voting. AlthoughBritish and American delegations insisted upon inclusion of France in the FourPower control and occupation of the Reich, France has never signed the Potsdamagreements. In consequence she is not bound by the agreements, yet is able toveto their execution.[22] She has frankly admitted her opposition to Germanunification and, for her own presumed self-protection and territorialaggrandizement, has demanded that Germany be Balkanized and destroyed as apower factor of Europe. To achieve this end she had obdurately insisted, asmentioned before, that the whole of western Germany be broken off and eitherinternationalized or added to France. Upon taking her place among the Big Four,she served notice that until these demands were met, she would veto all ControlCouncil decisions aiming to treat the Reich as an economic unit and thereafterlived up to her promise - even to such a fine point as rejecting a national postagestamp.France has been by no means alone in blocking unified economic administration.Russia has been almost as obstructive and would probably have been more so hadFrance not been so obliging. Even Britain and the United States have nothesitated to balk whenever it appeared selfishly advantageous for them to do so.In the absence of "agreed decisions" calling for uniform action in all zones, theReich has become divided into four economically deficient and unbalanced "airtight" compartments, each administered exclusively by its occupying power asthough it were a colony or protectorate. More difficult to surmount than those ofindependent states, zonal boundaries form such barriers to interzonal intercoursethat what little trade occurs must be barter deals arranged by special treaty. [23]Although such economic dismemberment would alone guarantee economicdisorganitation, it cannot rightly be made to serve as a scape-goat for all the sinsof Potsdam, nor for the British and American zonal deficits. Even in the absenceof zonal separation the other harsh and repressive measures ordered at Potsdamwould assure German economic paralysis.Disregarding this manifest fact, many officials find it convenient to lay all theblame on the zonal barriers and to argue that if they could be eliminated Potsdamwould be transformed from a dismal failure into a dazzling success. The thesismay enable them to avoid admitting the colossal blunder Potsdam really is, but italso serves as a bar to taking the steps necessary to meet the troublefundamentally.Put forward as a general panacea for all German administrative ills, economicanschluss of as many zones as possible has become the chief objective of ourzonal authorities. In the attempt to break down French and Russian objections,they offered to divide the Reich into a number of federated states and toguarantee German disarmament for 25 or even 40 years. After this proposal wasrejected on the ground that it was wholly inadequate and would lead to war, theyoffered to merge the American zone economically "with one, two, or three otherzones."[24] In making the offer, AMG Commander in Chief, General McNarney,observed:"The United States Government proposes this arrangement because of its beliefthat Germany can no longer be administered in four air tight compartsmentswithout free economic intercourse, unless paralysis is to result. The United StatesGovernment is unwilling to permit creeping economic paralysis to grow if it ispossible to attain economic unity between its zone and any other zone inGermany, as a prelude to economic unity for all Germany."[25]Although Russia and France turned down the offer, Britain accepted and the taskof effecting economic unification of the British and American zones wasundertaken.Even if such an economic merger can be made effective in the absence of politicalunification, which is doubtful, it is but one short step in a long way that must betraveled before substantial permanent amelioration of Germany's plight can beattained. On the other hand, the merger partitions the Reich between East andWest and intensifies and embitters the conflict between the two.

8 TEACHING DEMOCRACY IN REVERSEThe Lord High ExecutionersWe thought we were coming to Germany as liberators to free the German peoplefrom dictatorship, to teach them the errors of their ways, and to give them thebenefits of our form of democracy and free enterprise. Actually we accepted atPotsdam a program which negated all of our principles, which could sell our formof democracy only in reverse. The Potsdam plan was made to order for SovietRussia, but not for free enterprise or free democratic processes. Its very executionrequires totalitarianism of the kind the Soviets are accustomed to, of the kindwhich, when the Nazis were practicing it, so outraged us that we fought a halftrillion dollar war to eradicate it from the earth.We first eliminated the German government, the only instrumentality throughwhich the German people might take collective self-preservative action and thensubstituted a system of military absolutism, born not of free Americaninstitutions or ideals, but of the absolutisms dominant at Potsdam. Militaryabsolutism was set up under the following edict:"In the period when Germany is carrying out the basic requirements ofunconditional surrender, supreme authority in Germany will be exercised, oninstruction from their Governments, by the Soviet, British, United States, andFrench Commanders-in-Chief, each in his own zone of occupation, and inmatters affecting Germany as a whole. The four Commanders-in-Chief willtogether constitute the Control Council."Set up to function under the heads of this alien military dictatorship is acomplicated bureaucracy headed by a hierarchy of descending Caesars, forming aneat replica of the authoritarian apparatus employed by both the Soviets andNazis.This dictatorship, as we have seen, has as its purpose not the resuscitation andrehabilitation of the fallen Reich, but rather its repression and the erection ofbarriers to recovery. With hundreds of thousands of heavily armed occupationtroops behind it, the alien dictatorship was also prepared to prevent resistance bythe Germans as they saw the ground prepared for their extermination by theirbeing thrown on their own, and forbidden outside assistance while the necessarymeans for their survival were destroyed. It has dropped a soundproof iron curtaindown around its victims, virtually cutting off intercourse with the outside world,ostensibly to prevent contamination of other nations by Nazi ideas, but also toprevent the anguished cries of the German women and children from reachingand disturbing others while the gruesome program was carried into effect.As the death noose tightened about them, the Germans were to be made tobelieve they are entirely to blame for their dilemma. Even the inevitableeconomic collapse must be laid at the door of German administrators. They mustbe made to spring their own trap door. Potsdam says:"In the imposition and maintenance of economic controls . . ., Germanadministrative machinery shall be created and the German authorities shall berequired to the fullest extent practicable to proclaim and assume administrationof such controls. Thus it should be brought home to the German people that theresponsibility for the administration of such controls and any breakdown inthese controls will rest with themselves." (emphasis added)This was the craven way we were to bring self government to the Germans.We no doubt hoped, for example, that by turning denazification over to so-called"German" prosecutors and courts set up and operating under our mandate wecould make the Germans blame themselves for the deleterious effects.We have said it is democratic to make the Germans conduct their own purge,which is tantamount to accepting the Russian purges as democratic. But thosepurges were at least Russian affairs. The German purge machinery is operated byCommunists and radical Marxist Socialists placed in office by an aliendictatorship and no more representative of the Germans than Quisling's Nazigovernment was of the Norwegians. The Germans know full well that whateverour puppets do reflects our will and dicta. If we should by any chance convincethem that this is what we mean by the democracy we came to force upon them,we could hardly blame them if they rejected it at the first opportunity.Our military government is anything but democratic, except in the Russian sense.It is headed by well-trained military men, competent to carry out military tasksand orders received from Washington prepared by politicians and behind-thescenesoperators. Instead of a democratic body representative of free Americans,they are order takers, willing to carry out without question whatever directivethey receive from above. They are identical in this respect with Hitler's loyalhierarchy of lord high executioners.Our troops of occupation have been splendid young American boys, but for themost part raw, inexperienced, teenage draftees who could be expected neither torelish their job nor to comprehend its exacting nature. The whole experience hastended to corrupt and brutalize them. As mentioned before, our use of adisproportionate number of negro troops has helped alienate the Germans anddisgust our own personnel.In conjunction with the military forces we have sent over a corps of high salariedcivilian employees, consisting in large measure of people who had failed thesocial and economic competition at home, including in some cases broken down,discharged officers who could not stand the rough going of actual combat inFrance and Italy, or the chagrin of having to return home as failures before thewar was over, but who now draw higher pay than ever in their lives duringpeacetime before, and who enjoy swelling arrogantly with self-assumedimportance before defeated but often more refined, cultured, and substantialpeople caught under their delegated authority.This motley crew for the most part has no intimate knowledge of European andespecially German conditions, mores, problems, or history, but was hastilyrecruited and superficially trained for its extremely demanding mission.Although circumstances do not permit our body of civilian employees as a wholeto be representative of the best there is in America, there are, fortunately, somenotable exceptions. Often at great personal sacrifice, some very able, wellinformed,conscientious experts and specialists have gone over and by theirinfluence and efforts helped to mitigate the difficult situation. To these splendidproducts of our free institutions must go the lion's share of credit for whateversuccess AMG has achieved. For army men, if they are competent as such, cannotbe expected to manage and perform major operations on a crippled foreigneconomy and social system without creating chaos. If the Army has provedunequal to the task of running such relatively simple things as railroads and mailorder houses in America, it surely must be unequal to the stupendous job given itin Germany.Potsdam has imposed upon us a program which runs counter to our fundamentalconvictions and philosophy. The military men who head AMG generally believethat the less government interferes with business the better it is for everybody,except in Germany. And they oppose collectivism philosophically, except inGermany. Although they fought a war to destroy dictatorship, they are willing toserve as one themselves and to impose almost complete control over the lives ofindividual Germans. Nothing runs without their permission.Zonal rule over the economic, political, and cultural life of the German people, ascommanded at Potsdam, could be handled with a modicum of success only bymen with long experience in totalitarian philosophy and methodology. And inthis respect the Russian zonal authorities enjoy a great advantage. Whereas therule which Potsdam orders is alien to our background, training, and philosophy,it conforms perfectly to Russian practice at home. Such rule cannot bring freeenterprise to Germany; only some form of collectivist society could grow upunder it.These are points of cardinal importance in the rivalry between Soviet Russia andthe western powers over ultimate control of the German Reich."Reeducation"Many ardent supporters of Potsdam have become greatly upset about Communistplans for taking over the Reich. They have no right to be, because the very firstsignature affixed to the document is that of Joseph Stalin. The Russians,therefore, have just as much right as we to lay down the meaning of its looseprovisions and undefined terms. When Potsdam calls for democratization of theReich without specifying exactly what is meant by "democracy," the Soviets havea perfect right to insist that the order calls for German communization. And thisis but one of the pernicious features of its "re-education" program.Potsdam, in connection with denazification, decrees that ousted Nazis "shall bereplaced by persons who by their political and moral qualities, are deemedcapable of assisting in developing genuine democratic institutions in Germany."But no hint is given as to what "genuine democratic institutions" might be. Itprohibits propagation of national socialist ideas, without stating what they are,and then provides that "German education shall be so controlled as completely toeliminate Nazi and militarist doctrines and to make possible the successfuldevelopment of democratic ideas," again without definition.But forbidding propagation and discussion of one political philosophy andforcing the public to accept a different one held by those in the seats of power isNazi doctrine. It is also Communist doctrine. And the Communists claim theirs isthe one and only genuine democracy.Political democracy, say the Bolsheviks, is impossible over the long run without"economic democracy," by which they mean abolition of private ownership ofproperty, the foundation of free enterprise. But they call free enterprise fascism,and defenders of the American system fascists. And Nazism is a form of fascism.Denazification, in Russian eyes, therefore, is tantamount to rooting out our ownsystem, along with all other private property systems.The Bolsheviks call any country or party fascist or Nazi if it takes or advocatesmeasures to curb the activities of Communist parties; those which permit theCommunists to go freely about their business of destroying them and building aworld soviet union are denominated "democratic." Thus, Potsdam qualifies as a"democratic" document.These facts were known, or should have been known, by all the principals atPotsdam. When Russia was permitted to sign the agreements without a cleardefinition of what was meant by "democracy," we were falling into a dangeroustrap from which we cannot escape, unless we simply repudiate the agreements wesigned. The whole thing makes us look very stupid.If by democracy we meant our way of life - free enterprise, private property,individual liberties, the protections guaranteed in the Bill of Rights, andgovernment of, by, and for the people - it should have been obvious to us fromthe beginning that the program to establish democracy by force was foredoomedto failure. We might logically have hoped to wipe out Hitlerism by Hitleritemethods, but we certainly could never hope to establish our way of life that way.Our intolerance of Nazi political opinion, however justified it may seem, isnevertheless the opposite of democratic in the American sense. Ourdetermination to wipe out ideas by force is a repudiation of democracy's mostsacred tenets. People who really believe in freedom of thought and opinion do notuse clubs on the debating platform. We despised Hitler for burning booksproscribed by the Nazis, not because we were necessarily partial toward theparticular books involved, but as a matter of principle. Yet we have ourselvesviolated the principle, and adopted Hitlers, by burning the Nazi books. In wordswe denounce Hitlerism; in deeds we exonerate it!The impression has been given by prolonged propaganda that national socialisttenets were obviously evil and criminal, that they openly called for aggressivewar, for example, and conquest of the world. This is not true. Like the platform ofany political party seeking support at the polls, its planks appeared to be quiteinnocuous. In fact, Nazism and its works were praised by many foreign notablessuch as Lloyd George and Winston Churchill. When polled, 51 per cent of ourown GI's, stationed in Germany, said they believed Hitler "did the Reich a lot ofgood before 1939," and 19 per cent of those questioned believed "the Germanshad some or a good deal of justification for starting the war." - "It showed largepercentages of the soldiers ready to accept German explanations and willing toabsolve the mass of Germans from responsibility for concentration campatrocities." - "29 per cent conceded they had grown 'more favorable' toward theirformer enemies since they had been in the country."[1]It was perfectly possible for honest, intelligent, conscientious German citizens tobe party members and even enthusiasts. For us to assume differently is merely toexhibit our ignorance and gullibility for propaganda. Nazism was wrong in manyfundamental respects, and these features should be exposed. The Germansshould be shown in principle where these ideas were wrong and dangerous. Theyshould be stated as general principles to be opposed no matter who advancesthem, even if they are communists. And the operation should be discussion byfree, uncensored debate. Certainly, nothing can be gained by treating the subjectsas undiscussable.The Nazis were wrong in their invasion of the schools and forcing elimination ofcertain ideas and texts and acceptance of certain others. They were wrong inprinciple. So are we, when we impose our ideas and textbooks on the Germans.We are even more so for being outsiders, whereas the Nazis were at least German.The Nazis were wrong in their strict censorship of the German press. And so arewe. We cannot create a free press in Germany through rigid censorship and welook very foolish when we try it.Persecution of people on account of their blood is deplorable - whether practicedby the Germans or against them. Persecution arises from hate and is stirred byhatemongers. Walter Winchell has said we must hate the Germans. "Let futureGerman generations see them [German monuments] and find out what kind ofblood they were born with," he wrote a year after Germany surrendered. "If theycan grow up among reminders of what it costs to be a monster, maybe they'llwork a little harder to get back into the human race."[2] Likewise, while Secretaryof State Byrnes was appealing to the Germans at Stuttgart, the information andeducation department of the U.S. Army in the European theatre was still callingfor hatred toward the German people. In a pamphlet it said: "The feeling of pityfor the Germans is very similar to the psychological reaction we get toward apretty girl who murdered her father in cold blood, owing to the reluctance tocondemn one who looks so nice and kind, as a murderess." The Germans in theirhate mongering were no more unheedful of the Christian, "Love thine enemy."The German leaders applied the hideous and indefensible doctrine of collectiveguilt against a whole people whom they looked upon as deadly enemies. This wasone of their greatest crimes. We have committed the same crime by applying thesame doctrine against all the people of Germany, including unborn babies.Perhaps the reason we forbid discussion of Nazism, fail to list its features, and tryto destroy it by force, goes back to our having unconsciously accepted most of itsworst features since 1932, without knowing their identity.[3]And so we go blithely on our way trying to stamp out Nazism while practicing itourselves. The very stamping is Nazi like.We came as liberators to teach the Germans how to enjoy self-government andpolitical freedom. Yet we have imposed our denazification decrees which sofrighten them that they refuse to take part in politics for fear of the possibleconsequences under our "democratic" control. We are trying to teach themdemocracy, and yet we have so circumscribed what they may teach that theirteachers, unless they are Communists, are afraid to say anything. Politically,German leaders are not permitted to speak freely, and even those in our militarygovernment are afraid to say what they think, for fear of the consequences.Because of our undemocratic policies regarding freedom of the press, which wepreach while violating in practice, the German press is operating in a vacuum.Intellectual hunger in Germany is almost as acute as physical hunger.On top of everything else, our system of justice has become brutalized and highlydiscriminatory. We have three separate bodies of laws, one for our forces, one fordisplaced persons, and one for the German population, and in none is there aserious effort to make the punishment fit the crime. For example, a frail,widowed, German mother of two small children was sent to jail for five monthsfor having in her possession a parachute knife given her as a trophy andremembrance by her husband just before he was shot down over Britain.[4] Thisis typical, not exceptional. It makes the Germans shudder at "democratic justice."While we preach law and order, we coddle and grant special privileges to"displaced persons," who according to AMG officers, have been responsible for 50per cent of the crimes in the American zone.[5]While preaching democracy we have installed ourselves as an alien plutocracy,many of whose members have found blackmarket operations and other shadydeals not beneath them. While the Germans around them starve, wear rags, andlive in hovels, the American aristocrats live in often unaccustomed ease andluxury. Their wives must be specially marked to protect them from licentiousadvances; they live in the finest homes from which they drove the Germans; theyswagger about in fine liveries and gorge themselves on diets three times as greatas they allow the Germans, and allow "displaced persons" diets twice as great.When we tell the Germans their low rations are necessary because food is soshort, they naturally either think we are lying to them or regard us as inhumanfor taking the lion's share of the short supplies while they and their childrenstarve.We have in many ways shown ourselves quite callous to the sufferings of theconquered. The war left in its wake countless numbers of war victims withdisabled bodies, some without arms, legs, eyes, or otherwise disfigured. They andthe millions killed in battle or held as war prisoners have millions of dependents,aged parents, wives and children. In addition there are the hordes ofimpoverished, suffering expellees from the east. But the towering needs of allthese millions of helpless Germans have been a minor consideration to thefeeding and housing of displaced persons. Only a little news comes from theirloved ones held as war prisoners in England, France, and other westerncountries, none from Russia. Nor has the Allied Control Council yet issued a fulland detailed list of either war casualties or war prisoners. Thousands are still heldin unnecessary, agonizing suspense wondering whether fathers and brothers whowere in the war are still alive or dead. As one German mother said, "Even a littlesympathy would help. I haven't heard from my son for more than a year now. If Iknew he were dead, I could get over it."This is the way to teach democracy in reverse. If the Germans are ever to becomeadherents, they must do so voluntarily, through conviction, not compulsion. Byour behavior we are making it impossible for them to gain the conviction. In thelight of what they are having to endure under our control and because of ourpolicies and weaknesses, they will not easily conclude, as we wish them to, thatHitlerism is uniquely brutal, oppressive, or dishonest.One of the main difficulties is the fact that our democracy is confronted by aparadox which almost defies solution. Far from facing or solving it, we have failedto notice it. And those whom we wish to win to democratic principles see ourblindness and lose their respect for their would-be teachers. We must sooner orlater make up our minds whether democracy can tolerate the spread ofdemocracy-destroying doctrines, and if not, how it can stop them and still remaindemocracy.If what we are doing in Germany against Nazism is right, then what we are doinghere at home about Communism is wrong. If we must stamp out Nazism there,we must stamp out Communism here; if in the name of democracy and freedomof opinion we can tolerate dissemination of Communist doctrine and treasonableCommunist fifth column activities here, we should treat Nazism with equalkindness over there. For the one is just as bad as the other.

BULL FUCKING SHIT!!! Ugh, American and Russian soldiers did absolutely fucking nothing but kill and rape Germans. It's terrorism and attempted genocide by today's standards, exactly what the fuck they're getting away with now. Not the purpose? That's a load of fucking shit. They tried to destroy all of Germany, exactly what that CUNT Angela Merkel is doing. Why there hasn't been a civil war and calls for Merkel's head on a plate I do not fucking know. There have been plans to destroy Germany on a list so long that it makes the Samson option look benign.

Devastation of the Reich -

At Yalta in the Crimea, Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin met to decide the fate of Europe and in their joint statement solemnly declared:"It is not our purpose to destroy the people of Germany."

Again at Potsdam, the representatives of the Big Three met and intheir joint Declaration, signed by Messrs. Stalin, Truman, and Attlee, officially proclaimed:"It is not the intention of the Allies to destroy or enslave the Germanpeople."

Despite these and other assurances, the Potsdam decisions, as we at first interpreted them, meant throwing the German people on their own, with outside assistance prohibited, after the necessary meansfor their survival had been destroyed.
